[QUOTE="7070yshot, post: 2246501, member: 114427"] Honestly, I would use the rule of non-magnums keep it under 300y and magnums 500y but 700y is doable but I recommend neck shots between 500-700. elk is still a thin skinned animal but in case you misjudge wind or elevation or don’t know your MPBR then you need to stick with close distances of 50-200y. ive harvested animals between 300-500 with 6.5 and 308 and even good shot place those calibers have lost a lot of energy and sometimes required a second shot. Neck shots haven’t required a second shot. Use good bullets and be smart. If you can’t shoot 1MOA or better at 500y keep them close [/QUOTE]
