[QUOTE="ZSteinle, post: 659942, member: 10411"] It has plenty but if your worried 2800 or so FPS at the muzzle with 180gr. wont equal enough energy at 800 yards I can assure it is more than a 6.5x284 pushing a 140 at 2900. If you want more speed load up a 168 berger (that has nearly identical BC as a 140 vld) at 3000+ and will have more knock down than the 140. Im not saying that a 140 berger wont kill an elk at 800yards but if it were me I would step up to the 7mm. [/QUOTE]
