[QUOTE="dougduey, post: 1909474, member: 33159"] I rebarreled my Savage 116 LA to a 6.5-284 a year ago with a 27” Krieger 1:8 twist barrel. It was either a Krieger or Bruce since they are both cut rifled barrels, I could get the Krieger delivered quicker. The 140 gr VLD at 3000 fps shoots bug holes and is a bit of a perfect storm of a hunting bullet in performance. I also shoot a mono (the 124 gr Hammer Hunter) that is a devastating bullet on game. Honestly, I prefer a 30 cal or larger on elk, but the Norma will get it done. The NM outfitter I hunt with a lot has told me they’ve taken many elk with the Norma and 140 gr bullets. I’d keep your range to a max of 700 yards with this bullet so you can stay at the 2000 fps threshold for elk. [/QUOTE]
