[QUOTE="sp6x6, post: 613945, member: 21869"] T o the OP. A lot of hunters and outdoor publications over the years consider 1500 Energy a good number for elk and 1000 E for deer as a general guide line. This puts a load of 140 vld @ 3000 FT, which was higher than any of my books ,but load posted . T o have 1014 E @ 1000 YRD. And 1410@ 700 yrd. As one put it a perfect lung shot and you are good. I am good with a perfect lung shot @ 100 w/ my bow , but is it a good idea?There was a very long thread on here on a bull lost w/same at 1000, by a very accomplished elk hunter this fall.There are much better elk cartridges for long stuff.
