[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 329989, member: 11717"] No thanks, been to NY a few times and you can keep it. (Originally from PA) That is why I live in MT :) BB, You are a great contributer to this forum and I have learned a lot from you and respect you a lot and still do. But I find this sort of post counter productive. I think it's beneath you myself. Soooo... Not exactly sure what you're getting at here? Are you saying this thread never existed and my memories are failing me, or that I'm a liar? Or are you saying the original poster was BS'ing us all? My memory was a little off. The shooter said he shot the elk through the neck and lungs and then the shoulder. To refresh your memory, here is the thread... [URL]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f17/1350yd-colorado-bull-elk-37290/[/URL] You even made a siginificant contribution to the thread with some great pics and this interesting statement.... Quite a few well known members here believed the story also and congradulated the shooter. Maybe you could read through the thread again and make the same offer to them just to be fair...:) Maybe this guy was BS'ing us but I ran the numbers and the ballistics tell me it was doable.... .... just llike the ballistics tell the 7-08 can do it with the right load from 600-800 yds. Curious... are you saying that a 7mm cannot or should not be used to kill elk? If you think it can kill elk, what do you think the limits are? Regards, Mark [/QUOTE]
