[QUOTE="diriel, post: 636642, member: 26983"] Whoops, forgot about the Elk stipulation, my bad! I agree about putting them down in a sane and consistent manner. My personal creed these days (hard learned over the years) is 2000 fps and 1000 Ft.Lbs delivered at target or never mind -- assuming it is "big game" and not small stuff which is a whole different matter. I know you can hammer bigger game with less... but back in 2007 I had the chance to go out of state and fill a muley tag in northern NM near the colorado border. I took a marginal shot at about 880 ranged with my Swede and we ended up tracking all bloody night :( Then on top of that the **** 6pt muley was in the bottom of a fairly steep ravine. I decided next time I would have my 300WM ( the one I sold that next year to my Bro & Law ) :) I have not had the opportunity to go out of state again, so I have some time yet to build something with enough thump to Definitely get it done. Still thinking about a .277 Ruger EOL :) Those 170gr Berger EOL's sound like real good medicine. LOL at the game ear! It would not surprise me to hear that Walker Game Ear would actually take on such a project :D 15-20 mi. in would make for a hella hike out if laden with a nice buck! Have a good one, Gary [/QUOTE]
