[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 393518, member: 2736"] The 338 RUM will do fine for Elk sized game at those distances with no problem. My go to Elk rifle is a 338 RUM and I limit my shots for Elk to 1100 yards. (Energy,trajectory accuracy and all of the factors that I like are met for successful hunts) But it will shoot/kill beyond that distance if you want to push it, The Edge will give you maybe 100 more yards, If you still want more then the 338/378 is better than the Edge or the RUM, if you want "More power" then the Excalibur is a step up from the 338/378 in power. There are always cartriges that out perform other cartriges if you are willing to pay the price to use them so it becomes a personal choice based on its intended use, money to spend and need. In my opinion the 338 RUM will give you the best bang for your buck unless you want to shoot 300 gr bullets (I use 225s and 250s in my 338 RUM) for extreme distances. Just my opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
