[QUOTE="ndking1126, post: 1987018, member: 26820"] I doubt it was a fluke. I've seen match ammo level accuracy out of many rifles with it. It's my go-to ammo for hunting everything I have access to. At your distances, the only concern I personally would have would be an odd angled shot having to go through lots of elk bone, like shoulders or spine. I'm convinvced the other 98% of shots its more than capable. I dont have personal experience with it and elk, so maybe itd be fine for the 2% also. I just dont know. If you hunt elk somewhat regularly and passing on the toughest of shots isnt a huge deal, I'd say go for it. If this is a once in a decade hunt that cost a pretty penny and you were less likely to pass on that oddly angled shoulder shot, I'd recomend you step it up to a tougher bullet. Final note, when I chrono'ed them with my 270, the 130s had a spread of 4 fps. Granted, that was only 4 shots and not enough to determine SD definitely, but shooting them out to 600 yards, my spread is more horizontal than vertical, so I'm very confident in them that way also.
