[QUOTE="dragman, post: 714908, member: 39571"] If 1000 yards is your MAX I would go with the 300 WSM or WIN (personal preference at that point) I like the WSM myself. I woud keep the bullet weight @ 190 and up and at that rate I think your looking at a very good success rate providing you place the bullet correctly. Elk are big animals and when talking 1000 yards I think the 308 is way under powered and the 6.5 grendel is just to little. the RUM would be an awesome choice but I find a lot of people can't shoot it well cuz of the recoil even though they say recoil doesn't bother them. My ideal elk rig for 1000 yard max would be: 300WSM with 208-220 grain bullets @ 2800-2900fps with the gun coming in at around 13lbs. [/QUOTE]
