RE: 6mm Remington and elk
Most guys on this forum are big mag fans.. For me I don't think you need a mag but a 6mm is too light IMHO.. how many up close an personal shots are you going to get? If you're a very controlled hunter and only take shots you know you can kill then maybe you can get away with it. That said, you don't get a lot of shots at elk and you're going to want to take a shot that requires more gun.
