[QUOTE="Buano, post: 565480, member: 21641"] For the range you want to handle, you need a heavy bullet going very fast. The 300 win mag, 300 wsm, & 300 RSAUM are close enough to ballistic clones to consider them one chambering. It's a good chambering with plenty of punch, and a quantum leap above a 30-06, but you are talking about elk at 800 yards, not a deer at 600 yards. I would cross the 300 win mag, 300 wsm, & 300 RSAUM chamberings off the list because the .300 Weatherby & RUM cartridges out perform them by a considerable margin beyond 600 yards, and because you already have short mag for anything approaching close-quarters work.
