[QUOTE="screech, post: 171712, member: 5135"] Ok, just to bring up front, I have never shot an elk at 1000yrds. I have shot deer close to that but that is a different story. I have on the other hand been with people that have shot elk at an excess of a grand. Guess what, 10yrd run and dead elk. I have seen them taken at close to a grand with multiple 300rums and winnies along with one 30-378 and a 7-300weatherby. I dont know what the guy was shooting out of the 7-300weatherby for bullet but the 30's were all loaded with 180gr. bt's. 185gr. bergers, or the 200gr. accubond. If its not capable then my eyes have lied to me a great deal. does this meen that a person with a 300rum should run out and shoot at elk at 1000yrds because he hit a rock once, absolutely not but the cartridges have plenty of power for clean harvest's on elk.
