[QUOTE="Coues Sniper, post: 210873, member: 9377"] yep. 308 is out. Great cartridge, and very accurate, but not enough energy for elk anywhere near 1K. 300 RUM with some larger (like 210 grain) bullets could get you there. In 7mm, maybe a 7mm RUM or STW could with some 180 VLD's or 200 grain ULD's. Actually, the 7mm AM with the 200 grain Wildcat ULD's would be right in your wheelhouse. You'd still have PLENTY of power at 1000 yards for an elk with that cartridge. But, just having the power doesn't make it happen. You still have to have a rifle, and a driver behind it :D, capable of those kind of distances. [/QUOTE]
