[QUOTE="Gone Ballistic, post: 2307566, member: 26477"] Keep in mind the ballistics of the 140gr Hornaday SST or whatever bullet you are using as this will dictate your ability to kill the animal at certain distances. Your BC has to be high enough at the speed of travel to initiate a clean kill of the animal. This should never be below 1500 ft pounds however, I would definitely not recommend that you use the Hornaday SST bullet for hunting elk. If I were you I'd use something like an Nosler Accubond for a higher BC than their partition, although I have taken many elk with the partition in my. 270 but, not ranges of more than 400 yards.
