[QUOTE="cross, post: 453008, member: 8592"] Allout, 1300 yards for elk is one hell of a long ways. Yes, an Ultra (300 or 338) is almost the only factory round that is going to be able to take elk at 1300 yards. Lapua of course would work but 1300 is serious business. You're going to experience serious velocity issues at this range unless your bullets are something along VLDs and you put alot of coal behind it. You're also going to need a muzzle break. 1300 yard shots aren't 800 yard shots. They require much more skill and practice. You'll probably not want to withstand the amount of punishment that your 'Monster Biggie' is going to apply to you every time to pull the trigger unless you have a break. The wind is going to be a nightmare for anything but a fantastic BC bullet in places where you can shoot at elk at 1,300 yards. God's speed. [/QUOTE]
