[QUOTE="davkrat, post: 979879, member: 6452"] It would be easier to first define what you want to do. Elk at 1000 or prairie dogs at 400? Then narrow it down to some cartridges you're interested in without pushing the limits. Get a load manual or look at Nosler or Hodgdon online data and figure out how fast your cartridges can reasonably be expected to launch a high weigh/BC for caliber bullet and see how it compares to your goal. Either that or just go buy a 7mm Rem Mag for the stuff bigger than a coyote and a .243 for everything smaller and be happy the rest of your life. [/QUOTE]
