[QUOTE="6point5x284, post: 2328915, member: 66669"] Probably smaller than you wanna go but I’d recommend a 6.5 SAUM. I run the Berger 156 Elite Hunter at 3030 fps in a short action. That’s 1275 ft lb at 1,000 yards. My personal min is 1500 ft lb for elk and 1200 for mule deer but lots of elk are killed with 1200 ft lb. For perspective factory 300 Win Mag Hornady Precision Hunter with a 200 ELD-X has 1180 ft lb at 1,000 yards and lots of people sling those every year. But I understand some have a desire for a larger diameter. My rifle all up is 8lb with a Zeiss V6 3-18x50, and recoil is tiny. [/QUOTE]
