RE: ELK CARTRIDGE?
I' d go with the 300 ultra mag. So what if you don' t NEED the extra umff. At least you will have it. The only time the 300 rum feels like too much gun is when you' re sighting it in (if then). Maybe I just don' t understand the concept of too much gun. Sure, factory rounds cost more than say a 30-06, but the cost is irrelevent when the bull drops! To me, you just can' t argue with a .30 caliber bullet with the ballistics of a 300 rum.
