What caliber do you use for Elk?

[PACKFAN]

I have killed elk with my bow, as well as my 30-06 and my 300 Win mag, I like them all. I guided elk hunters (mostly for cows) on a big ranch here for years and I have seen everything from a 243 to 375's used, but for the best all around you can't beat the OL' 30-06 I've seen more elk hit the ground with it than anything. I really don't want to get into it with the 270 fans but when ever I had problems guiding with wounded elk that we had to chase it was usually a 270 shooter. Maybe just coincidence I'm not sure.
