[QUOTE="LongBomber, post: 1470574, member: 14435"] The problem with comparing cartridges is that once out at 600ish yards the bullet makes more difference than what launched it. Take my 6.5cm vs my 26nos. 143eldx at 2803fps vs the 127lrx leaving at 3493. Run that out to a grand and see who wins, and at what point it takes over. Personally if buy a rifle just for elk it would start with a 3, likely two 3's and an 8. And if into longer ranges hope the rifle shoots well with the highest bc bullet constructed for hunting.
