[QUOTE="Rum River, post: 1399817, member: 16869"] I have a factory 700 Remington in .300 Weatherby, I believe it was 1989 that Remington chambered that year's classic offering in that caliber. Shot an 800-900 lb. 6x6 at 150 yards using factory Weatherby brand cartridges, 200 gr Nosler Partitions. They chronographed between 2900 and 3000 fps. The animal was quartering towards me going right to left. Bullet hit just forward of the left shoulder. The rear core of the bullet was intact and in the right hindquarter, less than two inches from exiting completely. The front core had come apart, not surprising after crashing through that much tissue. Any caliber that can nearly go through a good sized elk lengthwise has some punch. The 300 Weatherby and a premium bullet will do very well for elk. [/QUOTE]
