[QUOTE="jsmitt6, post: 2791681, member: 116361"] I didn’t post this to get questions about the ethics of shooting elk at 1,000 yards. Wrong forum for that discussion. I have and will continue to shoot at game as far as I deem is okay, I don’t need anyone else’s opinion on the matter. My question is a simple one, maybe it was lost in my explanation: does a cartridge exist that fits in a Tikka .540” BF, with a 20” or so barrel that will retain enough velocity to expand at 1,000 yards? I’ve run numbers on dozens of cartridges, with the speed loss of going down to a 20” barrel, it seems like I am looking for a cartridge that doesn’t exist, without major modifications to the chamber and throat. Am I correct in that assumption? [/QUOTE]
