[QUOTE="Shawn Carlock, post: 85674, member: 4"] GG, Being a 338 fan myself I believe that your barking up the right tree. While the energy is getting a little on the low side, energy is not the end all be all. The specs you talk about 250 @ 3150 should give you about 800 ft/lb or so at a mile. This is about the same a a 30-06 165 gr @ 700 yards and I know several people and one in particular who have taken elk at a distance that the energy was around 800 ft/lb. Elk are a tough animal but it does not take much to shoot clear through one if you are not "boning" them so to speak. I do beleave that as we all know it is mostly about the shooter. I hope your new projects is "hummer". [/QUOTE]
