[QUOTE="SSG Graybush, post: 2660205, member: 115190"] I believe less is more. Meaning, you only need 1200-1500 #'s of energy /1800 fps bullet speed to reach your maximum effective range at elk attitudes, 7800 ft alt. So reverse engineer. Thats why I built a 7 RM 8T to shoot a 180 vld-h. Leaving barrel at 2917 fps at 7800 ft alt meets the requirements to 1000 yards. At 1000 yards, the 180 vld-h had the same trajectory as the 195 EH but had slightly more wind drift, like .2 mils. I believe. If the 7 prc would have been out I would of built that. Thats gonna be about as perfect a LR hunting round as any. Its has slightly less case capacity then a 7 RM, but slightly more then a 7 saum, at 78 gr of H2O, with all the new case design features, shorter, fatter, steeper shoulder, and longer neck. And no belt, if that matters to you. It just makes sense to use the minimum recoiling round possible that fits your specific needs. You'll shoot it more, and better. And shot placement is key.
