[QUOTE="Apex Custom Rifles, post: 2568685, member: 19307"] No, it's spot on with his components. Verified velocity behind a labradar. 140gr SST, 0.52 G1, 2,690 fps, has about 1,500 ft/lbs [USER=23446]@300[/USER]. I don't have loyal customers by giving crap advice. Granted, if his load was different, he could get a little better #'s, but that wasn't the question. On elk, I wouldn't recommend that load past 300. I recommend a minimum of 1,500 on elk at whatever range you and your rifle are capable of. If you want to take elk at less energy, that's up to you. Doesn't mean less won't work, but I want to dump as much energy as possible into an elk in the first shot. I personally shoot a 300 prc on elk. Backup rifle is a 308 norma. [/QUOTE]
