[QUOTE="Crockett12, post: 2698291, member: 35100"] I hate to reply to this type of thing but hopefully this one is just a slip of the keyboard -- or spell check -- or something -- because no 150gr bullet at less than 600 ft lbs of energy when 1500 ft lbs is normally considered minimum for elk, is going to be a "pretty decent elk load! Period! I'm an older hunter (76 years old) and I see this new long range thing for hunting any game animal as being irresponsible! We owe to to the game animal to a quick kill -- not a gut shot animal to die in agony somewhere because we wanted to be able to brag about our long range shot! And certainly not with a bullet that is going so slow and with so little energy when it impacts the animal that it won't expand or deliver a fatal blow. Stalking to a more reasonable distance (like 200 or 300 yards) takes skill too! [/QUOTE]
