[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 624088, member: 13632"] Great advice going in this thread. I also hunt elk right around 8000ft elevation give or take a little, I'm very confident in my 270 WSM out to a 1000 yards shooting heavy for cal Matrix bullets, I burn a barrel out a year shooting it and know it well enough for that kind of shot. I've wacked elk out to 865 yards with it and it racked them hard and the wound channel was excellent, it has enough snort to reach out farther. I also dig the 338 RUM with a 300 gr Berger, it's the dedicated long range elk rifle, if I we want to push an elks nose into the dirt with authority you let him hold try to hold a 300 gr bullet!!!! My 270 at 8000ft hits 1000 yards at 1957 fps with 1400 ft lbs of energy, my 338 RUM hits it at 1953 fps but with 2542 ft lbs of energy!! One kills them the other will knock them out of their hooves :D [/QUOTE]
