[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1215559, member: 27307"] Well, I'm going to disagree with the unanimous selection of the .300 Win Mag. Run some of the numbers with available ammunition and you come up short for elk at 1,000 yards. 550-675 ft. lbs. of energy at 1,000 doesn't quite cut it according to what you all subscribe to for minimum remaining energy. Now, since you're abstaining from reloading, which I think is a mistake, you can buy yourself a fine rifle chambered for the 28 Nosler cartridge factory loaded with the 175 gr. ABLR bullet which retains well over 1,200 ft. lbs. at 1,000 yards. I am working with the 28 Nosler loaded with the 195 gr. Berger Hybrid Elite Hunter which is not only accurate but retains 1,550 ft. lbs.of energy at 1,000 yards. It is so accurate that I use these same bullets in a Match rifle I'm fielding this year. Best of luck with whatever you decide. [/QUOTE]
