RE: Why are the Magnum elk hunters the bad guys???
Hello there BBJ: There is a similar poll over on AR in the American Hunting section about what people will be packing this year. No fear of magnums over there (although I suspect the percentage of folks over there that have actually killed an elk is quite a bit higher). I have lumped the WSMs in with the same caliber. The results:
270 Win -2
280 Rem
7mm Rem
308
30-06 -2
300 Win -5
300 Wby
30-378 Wby
325 WSM
338-06
338 WM -6
340 Wby -2
338-378 Wby
35 Whelen
358 STA
9.3x62
9.3x74
375 H&H -2
376 Steyr
405 Win
458 Lott
No discussion about folks using too much gun or that it "a bigger gun isn't needed". Just a bunch of filled tags last year...
