[QUOTE="pony doctor, post: 2809192, member: 82040"] 900 yards? I have probably taken 30 or more elk, most being 25 -50 yards . My point is that elk are pretty easy to get quite close before you Shooting them just below the ear or between their eyes! In my humble opinion there should be no need to risk shooting at 900 yards!! Lots of things can go wrong at that distance snd elk can be tough to take down at such and great distance when it is quite easy to get within 100 yards max. Most of the time a properly placed 22 Magnum is all you will ever need, but that caliber is illegal for elk but they do work quite well if you aim at the right place ( between the eyes) You don’t want to lose an animal because of inadequate ft pound of energy or bullet drift into a non- instant & lethal shot placement.
