what to shoot elk with

Roy , I too am in Idaho , Mtn. Home . This year I harvested my 33 rd elk . All but 4 were taken with 338 Win. Mag. with 210 Nosler Part. It is my favorite cal. That said , I now have a 300 Win. Mag. Last year's bull was taken with 300 Mag. and 180 Nosler Part. PPT . Along with my age and physical ailments , I find the 300 a little more pleasant to shoot .( bad neck ) The other odd one's were taken with 30-06 , 180 gr. I still think the 338 Win. is the best cal. for elk in all conditions , with the propper bullet selection . I have never hunted Griz. ,so don't have a clue about them but I know the 338 will do .
Tom
