[QUOTE="AJ Peacock, post: 293519, member: 4885"] .280 fan gave you some very good info. I've been hunting with a 7mm Rem Mag for 30years and wouldn't shoot at an elk at 1000yds with it; everything would need to be perfect and in my experience that just doesn't happen. A 300Win Mag is a solid performer. If you are really intending on shooting 1000yds for Elk, I'd go with a 300 Ultra Mag if possible, it will best the Win Mag by 200fps. If money is tight, think about your range finding capabilities, a few yards error can cause a miss easily. The heavier cartridges (like the 300RUM) can cover up some smaller errors in wind reading and ranging. Good Luck, AJ [/QUOTE]
