RE: Best Elk Cartridge for hunting in Montana or Colorado?
If you are going to use it for only elk than the .338 win mag with 250 gr noslers has taken 8 bulls for me without ever having to track them,I can afford any gun or caliber that I want and after owning several weatherbys and browning I shoot savage only , cheap /reliable and extremely accurate out of the box ( side note, lose the scope that comes with it and get a decent affordable scope ) Leaupold /pentax/burris , the .06 is a great 2nd choice but when I hunt in northern Wyo near Montana theres a lot of grizzlies so I feel better with the .338.
