Judd....understood on that. Could’ve gone TTSX/Accubond/Partition for the Creedmoor. But that would’ve made too much sense and doesn’t land me a new, custom rifle.

I wanna go fast and make big holes.

what's the difference between a 7MM and 7mm-08?

so if your friend was looking at having a custom rifle built but couldn't decide on a caliber, what caliber would you recommend? he is a 90% whitetail deer hunter, his shots range from 100-350 yards and would like it to also be able to handle elk if he got the opportunity to go. he is torn between a .270 or 300WSM.

Next to calling a Hornady polymer tip bullet a Ballistic Tip (which by the way is a Nosler patented bullet specifically called "Ballistic Tip"), is calling a rifle cartridge by the mm.

"What cartridge do you shoot?"
"I shoot 6.5"
"Which 6.5?"
"You know, 6.5"

Guess what, I don't know.

Unfortunately you do know, them boys mean Needmoor. They don’t know any better. Anyone shooting anything else knows what they’re shooting.

You hear a lot about larger calibers for elk but make no mistake that smaller will also get the job done. When I was in Colorado over the summer I had 2 older ranchers say the 25-06 was their elk gun of choice with a nosler partition. 1 said the larger magnums were fluff for city boys who can't shoot or get within an acceptable range.

Bobo on the forum said something about Randy Newberg on YouTube for elk hunting. So I looked him up on YouTube and watched what seemed like a days worth of elk hunting videos. He is far more experienced at elk hunting than I ever have a dream of being. In all of the shows, hours of them, that I watched, I believe he shot a 308 Winchester or 7mm08 Remington in all of them and made shots to 300-400 yards. I've still never shot an elk, but my conclusion is you don't need anywhere near a magnum, you don't even need a long action.

You don't, but if you're only going to go once or twice, why not give yourself every possible chance? What if your best chance is afternoon of the next-to-last day at 573 yards and there's no way to cut the distance? On a $7-10k hunt, do you want to come home empty-handed because you short-changed your rifle decision?

I have a 300 wby. When i go on my elk hunt one of these days there is a 90% chance i will be taking a 270 or a 7mm08. I think it makes your mind feel better to take the shot at 573 yards with a 300, but if you can put that bullet in the same spot with either i dont think it makes a difference.
