[QUOTE="barnesuser28, post: 803948, member: 43468"] I am not disdaining the 7mm bore, i just built a 284 win for 1k DEER/ANTELOPE and for 600 yards MAX ELK. I feel if you step up to the 7mm-300 win and up category then 1000 yards for elk is is doable, marginal still, but doable. A 300 win mag and up is great for elk at 100 yards and deer to about 1250 IMO, and a 338 Lapua/edge sized case or bigger is great for Elk out to about 1300 yards and deer 1500. But a 338 edge +p (or terminator +p) and up would be awesome for elk out to around a mile and deer about the same. Some have the skills to shoot at game farther than that but i certainly dont. And if you shoot game with the cartridges above farther than i listed, then kudos to you, i think these ranges give a general idea for max distances using high BC bullets. [/QUOTE]
