[QUOTE="packgoatguy, post: 1555422, member: 27192"] My 14 year old son took his first elk this season with my 300wm (tikka superlite)... one shot, 320 yards. That said, if I were to build a real long range elk gun, it would either go all the way with a big 338 that could do at least 2900 fps with a 270gr or heavier bullet... OR a really fast 7mm like a 28 Nosler in a 162-175 gr bullet Both options have BC's at the top of list, buck the wind as good as any, and still have enough oomph for extreme long range shots. I put together a spreadsheet that ranks various popular elk calibers based on the OTC Hornady ELDX and Nosler ABLR Trophy options.
