[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 617954, member: 13632"] Looks like he just ran it for a 200gr bullet not the one linked to which is a 165, which drops the energy down around 1070 ft lbs. I like smaller cals but that's pushing it even for me, ya you could get it done but much better choices are available. For long range commercially loaded fodder look into HSM ammo, for an 800 yard elk I'd look at the 270 WSM with 150 VLD, 7mag with 168 or 180 VLD, 300 Mag or WSM in the 185 or 210 VLD. I personally loath the 7mag and have dumped elk out past 800 yards with a 270 WSM with ease and like 338 RUMS as well but for a solid factory ammo shooter the 300 Win is likely the most solid choice, loaded with quality hunting bullets like the 210 Berger VLD!!!! IMO of course :D [/QUOTE]
