[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 1809900, member: 69478"] The 208 ELD still opens rapidly even at 2600fps. It’s an awesome bullet and my favorite .30cal bullet personally. It does a number on deer for sure. I would feel comfortable with a .30-06 loaded with 208s at 2600-2700fps as long as the rifle was obviously accurate and consistent. I would however personally limit myself to 600 yards on elk. I just suggest something along the lines of a .300 Win Mag to get the extra 300fps and gain the extra energy. A standard weight .300 with a good brake recoils less than a .308 and is very controllable. [/QUOTE]
