I have taken Cows with a 243 adn 100gn PT. I've taken Bulls with 270 up to 338. If you have a cow tag and they are relaxed and close then 243 w/100gn. If you are hunting Bulls then 270 w/150gn. I prefer 30 cal and at least 180gn.

As one of the guys that live out west (Idaho), Yes most of the guns I see used for Elk are the same as the deer rifles, 243W up to 30 cals. 260 Rem from my 12y son at the time was bang - flop on a 6pt Bull. I will say this - There are 2 kinds of ELK.... BIG Bulls and then the rest. When I...

Excellent Service !! Glad to hear it. I've ventured into the Swaro Z5 scopes recently - purchased two, one for my Elk Rifle. I was so impressed I purchased its twin for my Deer Rifle.

I own 4 of the 4x16 HSLR - (Not exposed windage turret) is only difference. I have used them from Varmintsto Big Game and shot out to 700 yds on paper / steel. I have had no issues with return to zero and being repeatable for my shooting. I do own a couple of PST for longer range and dialing...

I've got a 338 Federal in a Sako 85 and it is one of my favorite guns to carry. On Whitetail it is just "Bang - Flop" the deer have not taken even one step. Velocity is where the 200gn and 338 frontal nose just do the trick. Numbers just don't always indicate performance on game.

I have ver 5 and plugged in 10,000 yds and it stopped at 7,200 yds stating that "Your bullet/velocity combination is inconsistent with your maximum range." BTW I is used a .308 cal, 200gn Accubond at 3200fps and sighted in at 100yds. At 7,200 yds that would be 148,173.62 inches of drop...

+1 on ATH's method. I just shot and "broke in" my new Sendero 300RUM and it's first groups were shot 3-4 min between shots. First three went into the same hole and I "choked" on the 4th one and pulled it, about 1/2 low. Trying to recreate the exact environment is part of being as...
