[QUOTE="cwinner, post: 803914, member: 17315"] +1, I love my Creedmoor and have shot almost 1000rds since January in local matches but there is no way I would use it for elk at anything past 300 yds.....here's a table of my load for the 140 A-Max which is not an elk hunting bullet nor is the Berger in this caliber in my opinion.
