[QUOTE="longrangebob, post: 1480875, member: 3744"] I think you have made an excellent choice in Calibre -- my 340 has accounted herself well (11 of my 13 Elk & a number of Moose + my 750 metre 1 shot antelope {chose that heavy of Calibre due to distances & heavy winds}) -- I recommend 210 TTSX - if your particular rifle likes Barnes - Mine does -- as I had to pick a different projectile as no more access to HT Bullets... She is my go to Elk Rifle & I load 88.3 grains of Norma MRP2 in once fired Weatherby Cases Rem.9 1/2 Primers --- I get consistent 3290 fps. But as I have a Remington 700 with Custom 26" Tube - no Freebore - but a Gain Twist -- when I'm doing my job 0.75 - 1.25" 5 shot groups @ 300 Metres -- Prone w/Harris BiPod -- so having used on Elk since 94 -- & steel all day long @ 830 yds -- not only am I confident at it doing the job, if I do my part, but nothing has not succumbed !! Good luck & Enjoy the punch in the shoulder - it will be barely noticed when you shake hands with Mr. Elk LRB [/QUOTE]
