[QUOTE="Gerard Schultz, post: 958794, member: 51"] Tikkamike, How heavy do you want to go? We can supply a 1690gr SP bullet if you can build the rifle for it and drag it into the field with a helper. [IMG]http://www.gsgroup.co.za/5851690SP011b.jpg[/IMG] The problem is that recoil will be something to contend with and practicality for shooting elk will be somewhat questioned? How about a 420gr .375"? It will require a special rifle and will shoot out to distances that can only be imagined by some. [IMG]http://www.gsgroup.co.za/375420HV.jpg[/IMG] Where does one draw the line? In your experience (and your father) you would use a 300 of some description or bigger, a 180gr bullet, or heavier, because you have seen smaller calibers fail when using lead core bullets. That is your experience and frame of reference. How about my experience and frame of reference? It differs from yours in the sense that I have been using GSC bullets since 1992 and you have not used them at all. How about entertaining a better mousetrap? If tony m were not capable of shooting elk successfully at under 500, I would have said so. As it is, GSC recommended a bullet that will get the job done, given his equipment and given the task at hand. Are there other tools for the job? Of course there is, as there are tools that will not be suitable. As I said in #23: "Let's get things in perspective here. tony m is using a standard 270 Win with a standard length barrel. GSC recommended a 110gr HV because he wants a bullet that will feed from a magazine and a bullet that will allow him to get as far out as is possible with the setup that he has. Apples to apples please." [/QUOTE]
