[QUOTE="diriel, post: 455260, member: 26983"] 400 yards opens up cartridge choice immensely. 1500ft/lbs is what is considered by most to be Good To Go. For premium bullets such as Barnes and Hornady GMX they say you want at least 1800fps to reliably expand. -- 7mm Rem Mag will push out to 500++ easily for elk -- 300 WM will easily push out to 500++ for elk as well. -- 280 AI (Nosler) will reach out to 450+ pretty easily. -- 270 Win with a 150gr Berger will reach 425. Of course the WSM varieties of these Calibre's will more than get it done as well. Lots of good choices! Gary [/QUOTE]
