RE: super magnums?
For the most part of my basis on the question is that almost all the clients that email on hunt information want to know if their old 270 or 30-06 is enough gun for elk. They always seem to be influenced by the new articles written in magazines or their buddies saying they can't kill with that small of a caliber. I know all of caliber size is strictly personal choice.
The big thing about supermags is the manufactures advertising push to say its the best. And it may be but with all the new calibers to hit the market in the last six years would take alot of money to buy and field test them all. I shoot magnums and calibers like the 270 win but the point of the forum was to see if anyone had the same thoughts as I did.
