[QUOTE="trebark, post: 422998, member: 19172"] Although I agree with bigngreen that 1000lbs of energy and a well placed shot will take elk, the conventional wisdom says you need 1500 pounds of energy. So I ran your load in exbal and found that you have 1500lbs of energy at 500 yards and 1000lbs at 800. bigngreen is exactly right though. It's all about shot placement. A well placed shot with minimal energy is better than a poorly placed shot with tons of energy. [/QUOTE]
