[QUOTE="cohunter14, post: 808035, member: 55580"] Do yourself a favor and look at bullets heavier than the 190 VLD when reloading. I would suggest the 200 Accubond, 210 Long Range Accubond (depending on the results we start to see from them), the 210 VLD or 215 Berger Hybrid. The heavier bullets with high BC's are where you are really going to see the 300 separate itself from the Creedmoor. That is also where you are going to get the most bang for your buck, so to speak, from the 300. On a side note, I just wanted to throw out there that you definitely do not want to be shooting an elk where you only have 600 ft/lbs of energy left. I saw your post about comparing the energy and I just wanted to make sure you were not planning on shooting an elk at that range. Most people suggest a minimum of 1,500 ft/lbs for an elk, which I think is a pretty good number to stay close to. [/QUOTE]
