[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1562563, member: 13632"] WOW, OK! So that changes everything, there isn't a chamberings large enough to make the 185 GMX pole axe an elk!! The ballistics at 1000 yards are horrible, just ran a quick numbers and if you run it 3400 fps it hits 1000 at 1589 fps and 1037 ftlb of energy, compare that to a 338 Sherman Short with a 250 Berger at 2800, you have 1786 fps and just over 1700 ftlbs hitting them all at my elevation. I can tell you the 185 will be a wreck on elk and likely just plugging a hole through a deer with a lot of running after words!! [/QUOTE]
