[QUOTE="cdherman, post: 2942593, member: 12282"] Frankly, for long range, everything is better built on a long action. Question is what is acceptable/tolerable/useable. etc. That really is what the OP is asking: among short action choices, what can I do the best on elk. For elk, you would want a good sectional density. So that's a long bullet. But the long 7mm bullets are a huge problem in a short action. And someone will chime in that they got a 180 Berger to shoot great from a SA. Fine for you buddy. Never worked for me. I really believe that too much bullet in the case is not good. You can only get a long bullet in a short action to work only "sort of". I might think trying something in .277 with a tight twist and those now available long slugs would be the ticket..... Somehow I feel that .264 guns and elk will be met with too much controversy if its your first hunt. Just my wondering..... [/QUOTE]
