[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 109288, member: 1403"] I'm with GG on this as well. I woulnd't use an Ultra Mag if I knew my shots were only going to be at max 400 yards. You buy an ultra mag to shoot it at farther then normal ranges. 300-400 yards is still standard cartridge territory. Pick any 270, 308, or 30-06 and its a 400 yard cartridge for elk with right bullets and shot placement, no magnum needed here, not even an ultra mag. With that aside, I have a 300 RUM. Its for long range elk and bears out to 800 yards if need be. I like the 30 cal for longer hunting ranges because it shoots a little flatter and hits a little harder. If your worried about bullet mass or want a heavier slug, then the 338 would be hard to beat. I would rather take the 200g ab with a higher bc at 3200fps then a 225g with a lower bc at the same speed. At long range, it just doesn't add up. [/QUOTE]
