[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 2253101, member: 26077"] Long before long distance became a thing we were killing Moose and Elk to 800 yards with 150, 165 and 180 grain cup and core bullets. The vast majority of Moose were killed at less than 250 yards but Elk, because of the country they live in were often shot at much longer ranges. I have used a NULA in 308 with a 21 inch barrel for the last 12 year. It spits 130 grain Barnes out at 3100 FPS using 4895, 150 Hornady at 2950 and 165 Hornady BTSP at 2900. Fot deer and lighter game I like the Barnes, I however have also shoot 3 Elk and 4 Moose with those bullets and they work fine. I have also had great results with the 150 Hornady. Picture of a LARGE cow (Gutted, skinned, legs and head off, she weighed 525 pounds, which is a lot more than most Bulls I have shot weighed) I shot 2 years ago at exactly 300 yards with the 150 Hornady. She never took a step, dropped where she was standing. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/NUpIBDkl.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
