[QUOTE="azsugarbear, post: 2817822, member: 4809"] A ballistics calculator will need to become your new best friend. Most likely you will have to focus on big magnum speeds (think 300 RUM or Norma over the 300 WM or PRC) for the 30 cal. and high BC bullets. Same for 7mm or 338 calibers. I wouldn't look at anything lower than 7mm if it is possible that elk might be on the menu. Increasing your barrel length from 16" to 18" should be an easy compromise if you want to hit your parameter. Muzzle blast with a brake on 16-18" barrel with big magnum power will be substantial.
