[QUOTE="kc0pph, post: 647683, member: 35934"] As far as target ammo i would suggest trying a few brands and seeing what they will do. I am not that experianced of an elk hunter, mainly deer. This year im going to make sure to get my first LR elk, i should be using a 7x300 wby mag (a wildcat). Just got back from my shooting land today, the rifle added 3 more prairie dogs at 650 yards :) I will recommend lots of practice and unless you are well off you should get into reloading asap. You CAN NOT expect to hit something at LR unless you practice. I have been doing it for about 6 months now and still have troubles hitting a gong at about 1000 yards cold bore. Lapua brass is a favorite around here. I do not know about 338 LM but everyone loves Lapua brass. Someone will chime in who has a LM and tell you the brass to use. As far as bullets stay with the 300gn SMK/VLD unless you want to go with a more expensive bullet like the CE 252's (I have some i need to get rid of). Higher BC the better. [/QUOTE]
