[QUOTE="tuscan, post: 1310496, member: 90621"] It should be plenty. The last two bull elk we harvested were drt with 6.5cm 143 gr eld-x at 343 yds and 308win with 150 gr gmx at 316 yds (both Hornady ammo, which have been very reliable for us). Both were broadside shots with solid set up positions, so placement was where it needed to be. 160 is enough. A wise gunsmith warned me off of the 26 because in his experience the barrel life is too short. [/QUOTE]
