i took down a full grown bison with my 243 winchester. one WELL placed shot to the base of the spine. largest land animal in north america fell to the smallest legal caliber!

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.

Lots of hunters kill elk with a good .270 but that new remington gets into my hands every time I look at rifles lately. lol good deal for 500 bucks but a box of rounds is twice what my 06 rounds are and it will kill em all the same.
