[QUOTE="TRexF16, post: 2252497, member: 108912"] Wild Bill, Congrats on your upcoming Elk hunt. Others have already said this, but I'm piling on too! - Your 168 TTSX is an outstanding choice for elk to 500 yards, but you'll need to get your speeds up. - 45-46 grains of Varget is a proven and very popular load and ought to give you 2700 (ish) FPS in your rifle, which is enough speed for the TTSX at 500 yards. - One MOA accuracy is [B][I]more[/I][/B] than enough for an elk's vitals at 500 yards. I hear you that confidence is a big deal when shooting and hunting. The inputs you're getting from all these experienced folks here basically echoing what I just wrote, ought to be a great source of confidence that if you make that speed and accuracy happen you are good to go! Have a great hunt! Rex [/QUOTE]
