[QUOTE="LRNut, post: 1844979, member: 3230"] Coyote Hunter has some great advice. I have only shot 9 elk; 5 6x6s or bigger, one 5x5, 2 rags, and a spike. Only one elk was beyond 200 yards. All were shot with a .338 WM. The other thing is if you don't have a place to practice to 1000, don't worry about shooting an elk at 1000. I would also say, having lived in the Midwest, a 1000 yard cut/road through thick forest isn't the same as shooting in wide open spaces that are anything but flat. It is hard to believe the change in impact going from 1000 feet to 9,000 feet at 1000 yards has on a bullet until you have practiced doing it. [/QUOTE]
