[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 501693, member: 505"] I never said a 338 edge is marginal for 1000 yard elk. It is a very good choice. I knew it would be a good one to beat my 340 wby when I first got the prints for it from remington in 1998 and immediately started doing the 338-300 RUM. If you are splitting hairs there are better ones like the big 338's if a guy is going to spend a lot of money to build one. It will give you better odds at hitting the elk long range because the bullet will stay in the kill zone for a longer distance. But a 300 grain bullet out of an edge will kill elk further than a guy could hit one. Anywhere in the torso and the elk is one sick puppy and will walk a short distance and die or be there for a finishing shot after stalking closer. With a smaller caliber he can go for miles. Everyone including me and particularly Len value all opinions you want to share on this public website. But do not attack me personally. I shared my opinions from many years experiences with all the calibers shooting elk. I started out shooting elk at long range with the 7mm-300 wby in the 70's. It is 200+ fps faster than a 7mm remington. It can drive the heavy 7mm bullets fast enough to get out there pretty good. I found out the 7mm caliber in general is not good for long range elk because the elk must be positioned properly in the open and the shot must be perfect. A high BC better constructed larger caliber bullet eliminates quite a bit of wounding loss. Fact, no BS to it. Let people read your opinion of the cartridges and not your opinion of me.
