[QUOTE="Coyote_Hunter, post: 1719406, member: 110773"] As a rule of thumb I use 2000fps and 1500fpe for elk. You can kill them with a good deal less, though. Using handloads, I killed a pile of elk with a 160g Speer Grand Slam load at 2857fps (slow 7mm RM). Took me 20+ years to recover one and that one wrecked both shoulder joints of a nice bull. When we removed the hide it was peeking out of the bone. Killed my last one with the same load at 411 yards, a 6x5 bull, 4 steps and down. [/QUOTE]
