[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1668134, member: 87243"] In the last two years, my cousin, wife and myself have taken our elk at 713, 703, 710, and 816. 100% success rate, one got a second hit prior to going down, though it likely didn't need it. Another, though it had a good hit, traveled a ways and needed tracking due to poor bullet performance. All of them are on video. I video all my long range hunts, so that I can use them for reference if tracking is needed. Only had to use it once so far, the video of the elk that needed tracking was reviewed many times to determine shot placement, which we decided was within an inch or two of where we wanted it, but it still traveled a long ways. Many, many other deer and pronghorn (around 50ish) have been taken on hunts I have been on between 400 and 980 yards, all 100% success rate, never have lost an animal long range hunting. I am now building a .338 Norma mag specifically for long range elk. I feel my custom .260 AI is fantastic for deer and pronghorn sized game, but elk, I have decided I want a little more thump.
