[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 1667368, member: 14204"] My go to chambering remains the .300 WM from antelope to elk size game (931 yards farthest thus far) up to 1K yards. Because the OP's purpose is ... ... TwoMore's [COLOR=#ff0000][I][B].338 RUM above is a formidable choice especially when the majestic elk at 1200 yards is involved[/B][/I][/COLOR]. "My" unwritten rule is 1500 FT-LBS for elk and 1000 FT-LBS for deer at impact with consideration of the minimum velocity the bullet is designed for. There is no substitute for shot placement and displacement. The "NUT" behind the trigger remains the biggest factor. The OP needs to process and synthesize all the information to make a sound decision, which sometimes that easy because we all have different "real-world" experiences, wants/needs, opinions, and personal preferences. For this reason, I never ask ... just build it, right or wrong, because it is not going to be my last. :cool:;):D Good luck to the OP. Cheers! [/QUOTE]
