[QUOTE="IRAMNTMAN, post: 1576902, member: 56885"] In my opinion the only way you can reasonably shoot elk past 5 or 6 hundred yards is by sticking with a large magnum. In my experience, the large magnums can be picky to load for, I think mostly because heavy for caliber loading and (long range hunting) is a newer phenomenon. Most of the cartridges generally considered as long range elk cartridges were not designed for the bullets people are trying to get them to shoot. My go to or elk rifle is a 300 rum, I've owned it probably 15 plus years and have only ever found one load it really likes. But it has the needed energy out to 1k. If I were in the market for a new rifle with those requirements I'd look at the 300prc. Should do everything a 300wm or 300 rum will do, but be easier to load the heavy bullets in, no belt, etc. [/QUOTE]
