RE: Elk round?
This has been askes earlier in the forum,and you will get this response " The best round for elk is the one you can shoot the best."
For the sake of argument,IMO is the 338 win mag,Flat shooting,Hitts hard,and IMO less recoil than some other magnums.
As for a close 2nd,the Ole 30-06,it is avalible every where the is a elk camp,and it just kills elk plain and simple,no bells or whistles.
