[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3461020, member: 5412"] Yes, that’s correct. Took a doe last year At 490 yards with the .55 grain Nosler ballistic tip that leaves the muzzle at 4170 FPS in the 1-12 twist upper. Killed several at close to that range with the 1-8 twist upper using 80 grain Barnes that run 3400 FPS. No elk yet but feel fully confident that a Barnes 100 grain solid copper TTSX would take an elk cleanly at ranges out to 300-400 yds but past that I’d have to vote on a heavier bullet to retain kinetic energy. Elk are tough critters. [/QUOTE]
