[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 185081, member: 8843"] It doesen't matter what the case is shaped like wether belted or not , if your going to drive a big enought bullet fast enought to make for a "good" 800yd elk rifle then its gonna kick especialy in a 10lb gun. That said if your willing to pick your shots and have to pass on shots that are less than perfect then the 280 Ackley will do that job with good bullets but you can't expect to shoot an El;k through the front shoulders and have the same effect that a 338Lapua will. The 300WSM with a 180gr bullet in the 3000fps mark will do it also but here again your going to generate recoil. The 7mm bullets have higher BC's and those are gonna carry energy to long range better than a lower BC bullet , so a hot 7mm would be a good choice but hell even a 7mm Rem mag in a 10 lb gun isin't a pleasure to shoot alot. Why no brake? if your making one shot on game then you can probaly even get by with just plugging your left ear (if right handed) then you can step up alot in caliber , to a hot 30 or 338. [/QUOTE]
