[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 1534642, member: 307"] All the above recommendations are good, I think, and although I've never killed an antelope or elk, I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express in Montana, once. LoL. But seriously, a good cartridge would be the .270 WSM. It can be loaded with 130gn AccuBonds or Ballistic Tips at a blistering 3400fps or the 160gn Partitions at 3100fps. You could use the 170gn Bergers in it if you had a 1-8 twist barrel (or faster) and that will required a custom barrel, as rifle (and to some extent, bullet) manufacturers haven't fully caught up with the long range crowd, especially in the 27 and 25 calibers but we all know this. Let us know what you decide on. :) [/QUOTE]
