I'm sure this has been posted before, but what the heck it's always fun to talk about this kind a stuff. I've been thinking about this alot latley. How big is big enough and how big is to big? I've shot two elk with a 270, one with a 300 win., and one with a 300wsm. All of my shots were under 200 yards and all were kills. They all were either rag horns or spikes, no mature bulls. If I ever draw a LE tag I want to make the best of it. I want a gun that will do it's job out to 500 yards. I would need a new gun. My vote goes for the 340 Weatherby with 210 grain accubond. I think any bigger and you're not able to shoot as far and flat. Whats your vote
