[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 124102, member: 1403"] I determine the maximum range for which I can accurately shoot. Then I will figure out my ballistics and see how much energy I have at the farthest range I plan to shoot. I believe elk need around 800-1000lbs. I have seen them drop with that kinda energy. For deer I limit myself to 700 yards because thats about all the farther I can accurately shoot on deer size game. On elk, I bet I can go to around 900 or so because there vitals are double the size of a deer. You just want to make sure your bullet has enough velocity and will open up enough at that kinda range. It helps if you have a little bit of energy left to. [/QUOTE]
