Thanks again for all the responses. Definitely a lot of food for thought.
I am definitely interested in the bigger game as I’ve eaten a lot of moose/elk and they’re two of my favourite proteins. I’ve been doing a bunch of reading and the 7mm-08 round is beginning to look very appealing. From what I’ve read Federal seems to make several rounds that should be effective on elk within 300yds.
Reading and numbers are obviously no replacement for experience though and that’s why I’m here! There have been some supporters of that cartridge here so curious about peoples’s experience with it. Particularly on elk/moose.
