[QUOTE="Dan B, post: 99710, member: 367"] Bart...my mistake...the 162gr SST is .550 but still generates over 1600 ft. lbs. at 500 yards. And still over 1500 ft. lbs. at 575yds. I want to run the numbers w/ the 160gr AB but can not find the BC. All I hunt with is specialty handguns so I am used to dealing w/ lessened energy and more arching trajectory. I'm not trying to turn a .284 Winny into a 7RUM...and I'm willing to limit shots to what the guns is capable. There are certainly more capable elk cartridges...and I own several in rifles...but I'm not a monster capacity case kind of shooter and this is my first elk hunt with a handgun. I've dumped them with a bow and rifle w/o a problem. That's why I'm asking for input. Thanks.......Dan [/QUOTE]
