[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 341172, member: 505"] The 340 wby will easily reach to 1000 yards for elk. It is on average 100 fps slower than the 338 and 338-300 ultramags. Back in the 70's I shot it for 1000 yard elk with the 250 sierra game king traveling 3050 fps out of a 28" barrel. Now the 225 nosler AB has about the same BC and I am pushing it 3200 fps out of the same 340 wby. That may be the best combination right now. It gives you flat trajectory and will kill an elk at 1000 yards. Recoil is not as bad with the 225 grain bullets. [/QUOTE]
