I am a firm believer in the theory there is no such thing as using too much gun for your quarry. Dead is dead. I want my deer/elk to drop where they are shot. I don't mind "losing" a bit of meat by erring on the side of a bigger caliber. I'm not a huge fan of tracking deer/elk for a long ways after they've been shot.

As long as you can shoot your rifle accurately, use whatever caliber floats your boat. Just use one big enough to get the job done and put the round where it needs to go (shoulder, heart, lungs).

Just my $.02 worth....
