[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 478176, member: 21068"] Weatherby Sub MOA possibly? Savage is pretty popular, and getting more so all the time. Just going off of the old "energy rule of thumb" with a 180 bullet of .5 BC at around 3000'/sec. Elk out to about 700 yds. Deer out to about 1000 yds. Antelope out to about 1200 yds. Kirby Allen (FiftyDriver) recommended a 300 RUM or bigger if I intended on shooting Elk beyond 800 yds. Plenty of power in my opinion, accuracy will be the determining factor. In order to cleanly take an antelope at 1200, we should be hitting a 10" circle at 1200. That's pretty good shootin for a factory rig. But I read somewhere that the new 1000 yd benchrest world record was set with a 300 WSM not long ago. So the cartridge should be capable of excellent accuracy. [/QUOTE]
