[QUOTE="Gone Ballistic, post: 1868322, member: 26477"] Yes and I also know how much it takes to kill an elk at 1318 yards, even make two 30 cal. hits at 3500 yards. I would not entertain less than a 7mm but others creatively with their favorite build might have other things to look at besides caliber. You are mistaken on needing a. 338 Lapua when a 7mm Remington Magnum has taken hundreds of elk at distances farther than that. It's all in the amount of energy your bullet creates at yardage that minimally gives 1500lbs of kinetic energy. [/QUOTE]
