[QUOTE="Ronald W Schaefer, post: 1893998, member: 109378"] Try 142 gr Nosler AB and 156 Oryx. I do have one 500 yd, one shot kill on Elk using a Berger bullet in 7mm Rem Mag and that was impressive. That said, I've never quite warmed up to that "explosive thing" of Bergers--not my personal "go to" but experimenting with several calibers. I also have not drank the Hammer Kool-Aid but gonna try some soon just to see what that's all about. I personally like to keep my shots to 500 yds or less just because I like to be more sure of the shot...that's just me. A miss on a 1000 yd gong doesn't cost anything...a wounded or missed Elk on $7500.00 hunt is a bit of a hickie. And a lot has to go right once you get past 500 yds in hunting conditions to get those Vegas odds on good shot placement and bullet performance. Train for a 1000 yds shot, then get in to 300...my style. A 6.5-284 is however, a wholly adequate Elk rifle IMO. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
