[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1158031, member: 7999"] If you are going to stay factory chamber and be efficient to 1200+ for elk I think you should stay with 338rum. I would recommend the Defiance action, they are exceptional. Our 260g Hammer Hunter bullet would run about 3100fps with a bc in the mid 7's. We have not completed drop testing with this bullet yet, but initial testing out to 750y, this is what we got. So running these numbers out to 1200y you would still have 1800fps and 1977ft/lbs energy at sea level. This would also give you a 400y point blank range rifle. Now if you could be talked into a Lapua improved it would run this same bullet at 3400fps. That is what we have run it in. We shot a moose and a wolf with this bullet last fall. Steve [/QUOTE]
