How about this then, you use your .308 or whatever non-magnum of your choosing on an elk standing 500 yards away and I'll use my .325 wsm. We'll see who drops the elk faster. Personally I like the extra firepower so I dont have to walk so far to retrieve my animal. Both can kill but I trust the extra power to fly through bone. I killed a gemsbock a couple of years ago with my dad. He used a 3006 and I was using a .300 weatherby mag. After both shooting at him and not nowing for sure who got him we field dressed the animal. Both of his bullets were found stuck in the shoulder while the .300 weatherby had made it completely through both sides destroying everything in its path.
