[QUOTE="boatmanusa, post: 2791490, member: 125804"] I agree with Thomasbangs....DONT SHOOT A ELK at 1000 yards...just to many things can and will go wrong...I have a 300 Ultra Mag with a Speed Dial out to 1000 shooting 180 gr Accubonds and a 7mm PRC that I just bought and plan on shooting 175 ELDs and will and have shot at 1000 yards at paper and both have a effective range or that distance but unless I have one wounded and only have a last gasp shot before he disappears over a mountain I WILL NOT EVER TAKE THE CHANCE...You can always get closer and if you cant it wasnt your elk...I ve shot a lot of elk in my 55 years plus of hunting and only twice have I shot bulls just over 550 laying prone over my backpack...I was lucky they both dropped...but in both cases I said to myself this is to **** far...Just a old mans opinion...
