Bah! I'd take a 7 mag over an 30-06 any day. Much better ballistics, and plenty of energy for the beast, out a good ways away. The 30-06 is a fine caliber for elk (as is the 308win). I just disagree with your ordering there.

Though I agree with your extremes. 270 minimum, 300mag is excellent (what I shoot for elk). Though if I didn't have the 300mag, I would be OK with a heavy load in my WBY 257 mag, probably more so than a 270win.
