[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1340376, member: 5219"] RevJim, In the previously mentioned Ruger M77 Tang safety with 22" #2 Lilja, I tried 300 gr sierras seated kissing the rifling, OAL was too long for magazine which is 3.050". Much to my surprise during testing two touched at 200 yds with 57grs of RL-17/ 2450 fps Based on this I would suggest you could get a 250 and maybe even a 275 gr bullet to 2400 fps using an OAL that would fit and feed from the magazine. Quite frankly I see no need to use anything other than the 225 gr accubond on an cow elk. I have killed three cows with the 225 gr accubond and all bullets exited. All three elk died with one shot. Enjoy your elk hunt this year! Ross [/QUOTE]
