Default killed elk with which cartridges?

There is a poll going for your favorite cartridge that you have killed elk with ,but I am curious as to how many elk you have actually killed and with which cartridges.Personally,I have killed 15 elk,one with the 257wby,five with the 7mmstw and nine with the 300ultramag.

Killed 3 elk with .243 and 1 with a .30-06. I'd have to say my favorite cartridge that I have shot an elk with would be the .30-06. The .243 is just too small. For clean effective kill EVERYtime.

When not using a bow I have killed elk with a .270 winchester, .7mm Rem Mag, .300 WBY .300 RUM. Out of the 4 rifles, I have killed the most with the .300WBY. But my bow is my choice of weapon during the september rut.
