[QUOTE="screech, post: 98755, member: 5135"] I have to agree with remingtonman_25_06 that 600fpe for deer is adequate but for elk I would try and keep it towards that 1200fpe. This is given good placed shots. Don't get me wrong on the part that more is better when it comes to energy. Also good bullets are a big part. Like peolpe have said, solids aren't good big game bullets for american game. I haven't tried the accubonds yet but I have had awesome performance with the ballistic tip. Both elk I have seen hit with the .308 180grbt fell where they stood. 100yards for one and a tad over 500 for the other. [/QUOTE]
