[QUOTE="ATH, post: 535312, member: 1656"] YMMV, but I would not consider this a 1000 yd elk cartridge. Off the top of my head I'd guess under 1000 ft-lbs, maybe 1500-1700 fps? What's the minimum expansion velocity on that bullet? My 300WM will carry roughly that velocity with similar or higher energy, greater frontal area, and I wouldn't do it. Deer, maybe. Elk are tough. Trying to locate the spot you hit one and track it when you don't hit it hard enough to anchor it is even tougher from 1000yds away. [/QUOTE]
