[QUOTE="Chad Erickson, post: 2735914, member: 122822"] Shooting elk at 800 yards and ringing steel at 800 yards is not the same thing. In all your scheming and dreaming, don't forget, at the point of impact, to keep the ft/sec above 1800 - for bullet expansion. And the ft/lb above 1300 for penetration. Not many loads/cartridges can do that at 800 yards. And be sure to use bullets made of rock salt, to preserve the meat while you get there. Some would use the proverbial phonograph needle in a 50BMG case. [/QUOTE]
