[QUOTE="PatriotHenry, post: 2432724, member: 114356"] Fine shot and kudos to you for realizing the limitations of that cartridge. You were on the ragged edge of enough "ethical" power for the given game. The PRC will extend your range for Elk to about 600-700, depending on bullet and speed, and practice. IMHO. I am shooting a 6.5SS with 156 Bergers going 3040 with sub-half MOA accuracy. My personal limit for Elk with this set up is 650-700, more for deer sized game (under ideal conditions). If Elk are the main thing on your menu, at that kind of range or farther you may want to look into something in .30 or .338 class, with more gas. If not, it sounds like you have learned a valuable lesson on "limitations". I am in the process of building a 300NM for the longer shots on Elk sized game. My 2 cents. PH [/QUOTE]
