Friends out here like the .300 Win Mag a lot. I use a 350 Rem Mag and a Pre-64 Win M70 30-06. The .300 Win is truly a great elk rifle but it does have a lot of recoil. There are a lot of folks out there who are fans of the 7mm Mag, and they shoot long distance a little flatter, but I like the 30 cals. Whichever you decide on, practice, practice, practice. In fact, you should run a couple of miles uphill to get your heart rate up before you practice. Obviously, shooting paper is much different than shooting wapiti...
Good luck and happy hunting!
