[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1225080, member: 54178"] My original elk/mulie rifle is a .300 Win mag Browning A-Bolt and 3 -12 x 50 Burris Black Diamond scope weighing in at 12 lbs. Now I am using a 6.5 Creedmoor Ruger American Predator (slightly heavier barrel) and SWFA 5 -15 x 42 weighing in at 9.5 lbs. With Hornady ELD-X 143 gr. bullets factory ammo. This ammo has almost identical trajectory to my 180 gr. .300 Win mag. so I feel comfortable with a 500 yard maximum range with those 143 gr. Hornady bullets. I think I can take buck mules and cow and calf elk, both of which I have tags for this year in Nevada. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
