[QUOTE="115vld, post: 217647, member: 11228"] I have been shooting 257 WBY for about 12 years now and is plenty for an elk out to 600 yards. Just make sure you have a good rest at that kind of distance. I have honestly shot mine out to 1600 on steel targets. I am running a 115 Berger VLD at 3455 fps using 70.5gr of H1000. Extremely low standard deviation of 8.6 on my low high temp test. Dont use a Barnes as they tend to just poke a hole through an animal and do not transfer all the energy from the bullet to the animal. Bergers rarely pass through the animal all the way and that means the bullet puts all of its energy into the game you are shooting! Chase [/QUOTE]
