[QUOTE="Ernie, post: 1749870, member: 13"] Elk are not bulletproof, and with a 700 yard MAX, the 28 Nosler will give you capability beyond that. Just with Nosler's factory ammo, with the 160 AB it has a MV of 2980. The Nosler AB's minimum impact velocity to still perform well is 1800 fps. at 4500 feet elevation I still have 1846 fps at 800 yards and 1970 fps at 700 yards. Of course the 7mm LRM and the 7mm Dakota will do it as well Even if you go with the 280 AI, it will give you enough for 700 yard elk. In a 18" 7mm Dakota specialty pistol (Custom Remington XP-100) I shoot the 175 ELD-X at 2900 fps using reloader 33. I killed four elk with it last year, plus other critters as well [URL]https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/7-dakota-thunder-is-ready-for-elk.207782/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
