[QUOTE="muley guy, post: 1554184, member: 46783"] I use a .325 wsm which is the same case but necked to 8mm. My pet load is a 200 gr. nosler accubond with H4350 powder. Chronograph 2870 fps out of the muzzle and still going at 2609 fps at 200 yd. with 2766 ft/lb energy. Not the fastest by any means but very accurate out of my rifle and gives a nice thump on elk. Shot a cow grazing at 300 and tipped her over right there but then it was a lucky shot that drove through the heart. Others have been lung shot and never went too far. Elk are tough though and you can count on someone telling horror stories of those that got away after a good hit. My dad taught me to keep hitting them with lead until they were down. He always hunted with an old 30-40 Krag (back in the 1950's) and I don't recall him ever losing one. I like bigger slower rather than smaller faster but that is for another thread. [/QUOTE]
