[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 98712, member: 1403"] I have seen deer drop with shoulder shots with 22-250 and swifts at 400 yards and the energy is down to about 600 lbs. I would say for elk about 1000 lbs minimum with good shot placement. The experts say 1000lbs for deer and 1500lbs for elk, but I think thats a little much. Bottom line is to put the bullet in the chest cavity with an ample amount of energy and likely the animal will be yours. [/QUOTE]
