[QUOTE="ohiohunter, post: 1088434, member: 55230"] I shot an oryx in the neck, high neck, and did not get an exit at 80yds w/ a 280 pushing 168's. If I were hunting elk long range I'd be shooting 180's. I wouldn't use anything less when considering "long range". Mid range a 168gr will work, but not the 168 berger. I like exit wounds, if tracking is needed I do not want the hide to slip over my only hole. Which is why I like 2 holes. Personally I don't consider the 260 (absolutely not) nor the 6.5x284 long range (1000yd) elk guns. I'd want my bullets to have a little more weight behind them. [/QUOTE]
