[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 2353238, member: 68875"] Where do you elk hunt? If you are out west, a 26" plus a can is really not that bad. I have four rifles with 26" barrels that run a 7" or 9" can. Another three with 24" plus can, a 22" and a 20". The 20" is a duplicate of a 26" (same chambering), and I lose 149fps in the exact same load. 6.5SS, and run a 156 Elite at either 2916fps (20") or 3065fps (26"). That, for me, makes it an 820 yard elk round (20") or a 950 yard elk round (26") to maintain minimum 1800fps and 1500ft/lbs on target. My 24" 7SS is pushing a 184 Hyb @ 2861fps. With those numbers, it sounds pretty impressive. But is still only a 960 yard elk round. Cut off 100+fps, and it might make 800 yards. [/QUOTE]
