500 Yard+ elk kills

[barnesuser28]

Anyone that has an elk kill at or above 500 yards if you could please post the exact distance of your longest kill on an elk, along with the gun and load combo, how terminal performance was, how far the animal went before expiring, approximate impact velocity (within 150 fps would be good), and maybe even a pic or two, it would be much appreciated. I want to learn and gather as much data as possible about hunting elk at LR and ELR. Thanks

Riley, I know you have seen these but there are at least 6 elk kills beyond 500 yards in my thread about the 215 Bergers. There are photos , velocities and discriptions of all these kills too. Since it had so much of what you asked for I thought I would put a link here.

I dont have pictures of damage but I shot an elk at 985 with my lapua shooting 300SMK at 2750 and one at 850 both through the front shoulders. both were DRT the one at 985 penciled through. the one at 850 looked like a 1" pipe was driven through her shoulders.

Tikkamike, Awesome shot, takes lots of practice to be comfortable at that distance. I remember PMing you about the one at 985.
