[QUOTE="Coyboy, post: 181584, member: 3733"] weinerdawg, I only suggest the 300 mag as a starting round, because we are on a long range forum. If Adam said all his shots would be under 300 yards, I would tell him to use his 6.5 and a stout 140 grain bullet and kill all the elk he likes. I do not dought you have killed elk with your quarter bore and .270, but if your going to attempt 500+ yard shots on elk, most would agree that this begins with a 30 caliber, long bullets, and velocities over 2800fps. I have killed elk, at short range with my 280, and would use that gun again if I hunt the timber. My next Elk trip will likly revolve around longer shots and I'll be carrying a 14 pound .338.
