[QUOTE="Slick8, post: 2328160, member: 52585"] My preferred is a 30 nosler with a 230 berger but that's nearly RUM capacity and recoil. My rifle is 10 pounds with scope bipod and sling. I'm pushing the 230 at 2980 and is more then enough for elk at 8000 feet. I used that as an average attitude for elk country. I dropped one last weekend with it at 550. My thought is a 7 saum. Mine is slinging 180 bergers at 2775 to 1.25 inches at 300 yards. I only have 34 rounds down the barrel and minimum load tuning. Based on the numbers I'd say something along these lines would have the minimum numbers you're looking for with elk and have low recoil without a brake. I'd say a 280ai any short mag variation up to a 7rm would do you right. Only issue is the top end short mags and certainly 7rm will be testing you on recoil. But that all depends on your Tolerance of recoil. Below is my newest build a 7 saum with a 21 inch barrel and Def anti action. It weighs 9 pounds as it sits with the scope, bipod and TABC Ultra 7. These numbers are a 180 berger at 2775 and 8000 feet. I use 2000 fps for a personal minimum to help ensure reliable expansion.
