[QUOTE="Idaho Lefty, post: 2318299, member: 104437"] With, a Hdy 143 ELD-X, Nosler 142 ABLR or, Berger, 135 / 140 HUNTING Bullet, driven FAST ( 2,800+ FPS ), in .260 Rem / 6.5 Creed, I'd Limit my shots to, 500-550 yards IF,.. you can HIT, the "Boiler Room" at, that distance. Some of, the .270's with, "good" 140 - 150 grain, Bullets, driven 3,000 to 3,300 FPS can safely, stretch it out another 100 to150 yards, again, Bullet PLACEMENT, Dependent ! How many of you guys have ever shot 500 to 700 yards, across a Canyon in, a 10- 15 MPH Wind after, a 2 mile Hike ??? YES, the Bullet "can" do IT, BUT, can,..YOU ??? Are you Practicing a Bunch from, Field Positions ( you won't see, many Bench Rests, in the Mountains ). Shoot at, 10- 12 Inch Dia Steel Plates,.. NOT, 24" or, 36" square Plates ! Personally, I'd learn how to get closer thru, GOOD Hunting, Skills ! I Love Elk Meat and THEY deserve, OUR respect, by making,.. clean, quick Kills ! [/QUOTE]
