[QUOTE="cohunter14, post: 712070, member: 55580"] Thanks for the replies guys! I haven't looked into 338, but I definitely will. As far as finding a rifle that fits, I think I have my choice down on that one in a Remington 700, which is what I have shot forever in a 30-06. To add on to my questions, I understand that a 30-06 can shoot out to 500+ yards, but between bullet drop (4 feet) and decreased retained energy (less than 1,400 ft-lbs) with a 180 gr bullet, that isn't really a combo for killing elk, correct? I see some of the same problems with the 7 mag at those ranges as well. Am I missing something there? Thanks again for the input guys! [/QUOTE]
