My 2 cents I live in MI. where 200 yards is A long shot. But theres A reason I have A 300 Wby. mag with A 4-12 power scope Im just being honest here. If conditions were right that being no to low wind im confident to take A shot out to 500 yards  on that trophy of A life time  with using only  hold over. Wind is A whole diffrent ball game. A 10 mph cross wind can blow A 30-06 bullet 3 feet now im guessing with no refrence to lean on. I have read stories where the guide says give him A fence post. Meanig the lead of the fence post spacing on running game thats just nuts.But with all the tools that ae now out range finders and wind gauges it does promte hunters to try. but even with All that for me 500 yards would be my limit with good conditions and knowin my trajectory inside out. There are 2 reasons Bear guides make you get close 1 so you have An accurate hit. the other of course so you have maxium energy. those same rules should apply just to be ethical.

that sounds interesting I like that kind of stuff. I have heard that A 250 gr. 338 will out penatrate A 300 gr. 375 all day long. Would be interesting to find out.

Thanks WbyMan.

Ron Welcome to my world. Here in MI. we get rain changing to snow from the south. Snow from the west and North. And even Lake Efect snow that forms over the great lakes.You cant beat it so mite as well Imbrace it. makes the Elk stand out better easy tracking and they slide Better to if you have to drag them. But im sure you quarter them were they fall. Good luck.
