Best long range elk load for a 300 RUM?

[wyobmf]

Hello,
I am currentley using a 150 GRN Lazaroni coated tripple shock with 100 GRNs of RL-25 and getting 3670 FPS. I have killed 2 big bulls with this load. One at 720 yds and 1 at 850 yds. Is there any way I could improve this load better for elk?
What does everybody else use for 300 RUM elk loads?
Thanks

That seems like a light bullet for elk. I would feel more comfortable shooting a 200 grain accubond or something. They have BC numbers in the 500's if I remember right.

It does seam light, but It has more lb/ft at long range than any other bullet weight.

Been using 150s on elk out to 600 for many years,works for me,you cant beat the triple shocks for elk.

.369bc 150g .308 Barnes TSX

.711bc 240g .308 SMK
From Sierra Infinity software...


Your load at 6500ft, 35 deg, 3670fps from the Lazz:

800yds energy: 1789 ft. lbs.
1000yds energy: 1388 ft. lbs.


240SMK load at 6500ft, 35 deg, 3000 fps from 300RUM:

800yds energy: 2947 ft. lbs.
1000yds energy: 2590 ft. lbs.

The Lazz might get even more out of the SMK...

My bad, never ran it up to a 240 Gn.
The gun is a Rem 700, Just using lazaroni coated bullets.
Would that be a better long range load?
Thanks
