[QUOTE="johngibbs222, post: 2252449, member: 49619"] Velocity is your friend with copper bullets, I load my 308 with 130 grn tsx and, with its 26" barrel, it's getting better than 1 moa and 3100 fps using cfe 223 powder. I'm going to the range this weekend to zero it and compare 130 tsx, 150 S&B spbt and 165 grain speer spbt. The 165 speers are in front of vihtavouri n-150 fwiw, the others cfe 223. The ballistics say that the bullets all drop within 1" of each other at 350 metres and all in excess of 1800 fps, in my rifle, at that range. My mv figures are from my magnetospeed sport chrono. I'll let you know the exact figures and accuracy when I've done that. Our red deer are a slightly smaller version of your elk and I'm confident the 130 tsx will pull the stunt on the day. [/QUOTE]
