[QUOTE="vancewalker007, post: 1683327, member: 66917"] Assuming 6000 ft alt, 50 deg F, 3250fps would give Elk energy out to 1420yrds yielding 1509fr lbs. Of course that's on paper, but that's a lot of fire power. The chambers likely go in 1000-1500 rounds but hey barrels are wear items. Hopefully you could quickly find a powder combo that shot consistent and accurate. At 1420 yards, assuming an elks kill zone is 24 inches, a 1 MOA rifle would suffice as 1 MOA at that distance is about 14.87 in. Anything tighter would be of course even better. I say build it and put the biggest Terminator brake on it and you're ready for some ELR fun. [/QUOTE]
