[QUOTE="trueblue, post: 612741, member: 10654"] I get a kick out of how some members come across on some of these threads. One thing I enjoy about this site is that 99% of the participants are respectful of the other guys opinion and give imformation with the intent to help the OP. Keep up the good work, fellas. Also, enjoy some of the members sense of humor. As far as what to shoot, if you can't handle the recoil of the bigger 30's or 338's, shoot the 6.5 thru the 7 RM. Just run the #'s on the bullet/fps combination and see what your yardage linits are. For example if you are shooting a 6.5-06AI or a 264 WM with the 140 Bergers at 3000fps + you theoretically could take an elk out to 1100 yards based on required 1800fps for the bullet to expand. Or if you use 1500# of energy as your requirement, then your yardage limit would be about 700 yards, which really is farther than most elk are taken at anyway. Bottom line is shoot what you can shoot accurately, but know your limits for the bullet you are using. By the way,I also think this new 270 cal bullet from Berger is going to be interesting .
