[QUOTE="Red Delicious, post: 1055461, member: 85735"] I'm in need of education and knowledge, hope you can help me out. I read threads on the 6.5X284 sending 140 gr bullets at 2900 to 3100 fps being fine for bull Elk at 800+ yds. Yet I read threads on the 7mm Remington Magnum (my round of choice) and a 140 gr bullet leaving the barrel at the same speeds gets laughed at for Elk. Seems you need at least 160 or 180 gr and even then don't shoot beyond 300 yds or so. What is so magical about that 0.5 mm diameter difference? Thanks Craig O. [/QUOTE]
