There used to be a video on youtube of Wayne Van Zwoll taking down a big bull elk at 603 yards with a Creedmoor, but I can't find it anymore since Boone and Crockett have decided long range hunting is evil....

WAYNE TALKED ABOUT THAT HUNT IN ONE OF HIS BOOKS( SHOOTER BIBLE ON CARTRIDGE)gun)

I can't see why factory Hornady 140gr AMAX loads wouldn't put them down with ease - just don't aim for bone!
