[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 2339659, member: 94491"] Agree, wouldn't hunt past 300-400 depending on the bullet construction and speed. I might push my 20" with the 140 fusion/gold dot out to 450 on deer/lope as its still above 1800fps with over 1000 ftlbs -- but my 16" stops around 350-400 depending on bullet My 110ab load from my 16" still has 1800fps at 500, but the energy is down to around 800 ftlbs-- getting pretty marginal for my likes . I'd say 400ax for deer sized and 300 and inside for elk sized woth good shot placement. There have been some pretty stellar shots performed out way past where I'd be comfortable shooting elk with either cartridge, but those would be exceptions to the rule-- I generally take my 308, -06, 7rm, or 300wsm for elk hunting.
