RE: ELK CARTRIDGE?
I have used the 7mmstw,8mmremmag and 300ultramag for moose and elk.The 300ultra has resulted in the quickest kills and shoots very flat.The 7mmstw shoots flat and does a good job but the kills are not as quick or dramatic.The8mm mag works well but is not quite as flat.Recoil is very tolerable with the 7mmstw,stiff with the 8mm and stiffer yet with the ultramag.Overall I prefer the ultramag and now use it for all my moose and elk hunting.
