I took it to British Colombia for my grizzly hunt but the only shot that I had at a griz was at 578 yards and he was in a very small clearing. Both of those shots were complete pass through shots. I took 2 shots but he was dead on his feet with the first one, but as you should know about a elk you keep shooting if they are still standing. I also used it to kill my largest elk at just under 800 yards. The closest shot was my impala at 90 and the furthest was the kudu at 479 yards. I had complete pass through shots with the range from 90 yards out to 479 yards. I took it to Africa and all were one shot kills on 5 of the 6 animals that I shot, and the one that wasn't was the shooters problem. It did get a little iffy so he knew I was going solo spot and stalk in another western state and when I was leaving he told me,"that is not enough gun for solo spot and stalk. We had dogs for back up and really expected a treed bear. I bear hunted with a guide and I used my 243wssm to kill a bear spot and stalk. I thought this was a good post, the the post of Elkhunter96 was equally as good. He knows what's right for him a whole lot better than do I. And I'll never fault another hunter for his choice of rifle and cartridge. 270 Win that'll print quarter-inch groups all day long. Hence, I can get done what needs doing with a lightweight Model 700 in. But I'd much rather carry a lighter gun that will kill big game just as dead. I know that were I inclined, I could hunt with a. Flinching has a nasty way of screwing with bullet placement. However, I think that the 7MM Rem Mag is the most powerful cartridge that 90% of magnum shooters can shoot with accuracy. 300 Win Mag is one of the best cartridges ever designed. An elephant culler killed hundreds of elephants with a 7x57 using 175 grain bullets. 284 caliber bullet is legendary for its ability to penetrate. If I were accorded a hunting rifle do-over, I'd buy a 22" barreled. Bench shooting is where confidence is created. If they're sporter weight, bench shooting recoil becomes an issue. That makes them a huge pain where air gets real thin. The problem I see with magnums is that they have to be heavy to absorb recoil. What destroys that equipment is immaterial. If hunters destroy topside oxygenated blood flow, they'll walk up to dead big game. Nothing living remains in that condition sans its oxygenated blood pumping equipment. But then again, everything in North America, including polar bear, has been killed will arrows at about 300 FPS. I have 100% confidence that that rifle will kill everything in North America. In fact, I'm doing the rest of my hunting with one of my 2. Just as intended and advertised, it will kill huge elk very dead.

I had wanted to get serious about killing elk. Many, many years ago, I bought a 7MM Rem Mag.

That's all it took for me to know that it's far more powerful than I need to kill all North American big game. I own a beautiful Belgian Browning that was manufactured in '69. At that time, the '06 was thought to be too much gun for a kid. My first big game rifle was a Model 700 in. Reality has a way of messing with expectations. I think hunters read too many gun magazines where they get the notion that a.
