[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1535239, member: 13632"] I think a lot of this ****ing contest has to do with defining what ranges you expect to roll elk at, I'm perfectly comfortable with a Creed to 600 ish with little questions and I'll take a shot in a variety of conditions, put another 200 yards on and the conditions narrow, another 200 yards and the window is so small it's really almost absurd and your getting into bullets tumbling and killing and your window for wind is small!! I don't have larger cals than my 6.5 or 270 WSM because I can't kill elk with them I just can't take every shot I want, there no way I'm going to be pleased to pass a shot on any elk with good conditions at 1200 yards because I'm packing something that lacks enough steam to open a bullet. For every elk we kill at long or elr ranges with a big 300 or 338 there's a half dozen between 600-800 with smaller cals. Each has it's place and conditions, just cause you don't have a need for both doesn't mean others don't!! [/QUOTE]
