[QUOTE="Julio2357, post: 1901495, member: 114267"] Living in Idaho, my elk have been between 4 and 500, my choice was a .300 Weatherby Mag w 180 gr Weatherby bullets. It hits hard and they didn't run. Enjoy hunting out west, it's big country. I'm currently shooting long range, 1200 yards plus with my CA Mesa long range 6.5 PRC. I'm hand loading 140 gr Berger Hybrids, 58.3 gr of H1000, at an avg of 3144 fps so says my speedo device. It's comfortable to shoot w that load and very accurate. I've also shot Hornady 143 gr ELD-X hunting bullets through it. They were accurate beyond 1000. IMHO you'd be fine with this caliber and bullet on elk at 500 and in. Some will say the bullet is light, but the Win .264 mag, .270, Rem .280, .260, etc. with about the same bullet weight have killed a lot of elk. In a lightweight rig like the CA Ridgeline, that 300 PRC would really pound you. [/QUOTE]
