RE: 300WSM or 338 Win Mag for CO Hunting???
I kill elk with a 270 every year. Just like bow hunting it is all about shot placement. You get him in the heart, lungs, ???SPINE??? he is just as dead with a 270, 308, 300 win mag or 338. I have NO need for the mag rifles as I just make sure of my shot and drop him. I dont make the 300+ shots as there are far too many things that can happen that can effect the POI or another elk stepping out into your line of fire...
