[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1529970, member: 7999"] Here is some numbers that you can use. [URL]https://load-data.nosler.com/load-data/26-nosler/[/URL] [URL]https://load-data.nosler.com/load-data/65-creedmoor/[/URL] Again I'll repeat. Using 1800fps with a .264 cal bullet on elk is probably not a good idea. Can it work? Yep. 1800fps with a .338 cal bullet much better idea. I was told yesterday that I don't like 6.5's and probably haven't used one. Have used a 6.5-06 and a 6.5-300rum imp on 6 elk from 350y to 600y. I think 6.5's are magic, but there is only so much pixie dust... Also I am not anti small caliber. I set myself up a 6mm Creed Hammer Bullet death ray this year and carried it for everything. Did not get a chance on elk yet with it. I intend to, just for the data. It is running our 88g Hammer Hunter at 3350fps. On paper will carry 1800fps past 700y. Doesn't make it a 700y elk cartridge.
