[QUOTE="Dano1, post: 580986, member: 14209"] Tanner, It'll have a 9 1/4" twist as well. It's going to be a good deer round for sure. You'll be able to get 3100-3200fps with the Barnes TSX, but the heaviest bullet they make is 85g. I still think that it is light for elk, but for deer it would be great. I saw a 5 point bull elk take 4 hits all of them good solid vital hits from a .300 RUM using 180g TTSX before it went down. I have like wise seen elk go down with .243s. I just try to give the elk the benfit of the doubt and use a bigger rifle if I can. Remember this is my opinion, you can do what you want... It seems your rig will be similar to mine. Targets and coyotes beware. have fun with it and good shooting. Sully, No problem Dan [/QUOTE]
