In general though, magnums bring with them enough recoil to induce flinching.

The Remington 300 Ultra Mag, is the minimum that should be used for elk. Savage sucks.

I say 105 howitzer is the minimum the rest of us can shoot.

well I think that the .300RUM is to small but the 105 is to big.... I think something in the line of .458 lott might do it in a pinch......... I still don't know what I was thinkin when I shot my first 2 elk with a 25-35!! and hell yes I was close LOL!!!!!!

I absolutly love and cherish both of my 30-06s. one is the ol winchester model 70 and then the smoothest is my browning a-bolt. Good from coyotes to Moose! 50gr. excelerators leave the mussle at 4,200 fps. for varmits better then a 22-250 and 180 gr. core-loct are good for elk.
