[QUOTE="Bro Dave, post: 1634850, member: 110131"] In your initial post you asked about a rifle / cartridge choice that "can" take an elk at 1000' not that you would and you have received mostly excellent advice. Think hard about what others have said about range and ethics the last post from WV 270 WSM and others are right on. What a 1000' yard shooter is trying to do is put a first shot, cold bore round on a 11" plate. I have shot and Range Officered (RO) several LRS and NARA events watching some of the best shooters in the west and I will confirm that kind of performance is a rare event, especially under field conditions. Practice in the range of a 1000 rounds incrementally increasing the range finding the maximum range you can keep every round in an 11' circle (cold bore) will determine your personal range limitation. Have fun. [/QUOTE]
