[QUOTE="Jcook02, post: 2138279, member: 113022"] Simply my opinion and take it for what it's worth, I'm not a BR guy. For deer and targets out to 1k yards, 7mm will do just fine. On game performance on elk, a 300-338 cal. would be my first choice. We can tap steel all day, everyday with a .243 beyond 600 yards, with boring regularity. I wouldn't let that determine my choice for elk though. Deer, I can understand, elk are extremely tough critters. I love my gunsmith, he does an outstanding job of building our rifles. But... he thinks we're crazy for using the bullets we use. He says we watch too many hunting shows. We've had tremendous success with the two bullets we use and until then, we will continue to use what is effective for us. But, a great thing is, you have so many choices to pick from and I don't blame anyone for making their own decision. Good luck on your quest, there is an unlimited amount of knowledge on this site and about just as many useful opinions. Keep us up to date on what you go with and how it goes, please. Stay well.
