Nice compact 30. From your list 200 Eldx or 180 AB if Elk in your path to attempt those velocities.

Wyfox~ Good for you! Love that fixed Bender! have used those for breaking in a couple light rigs. Plan to use one on 27 Nosler this fall for Bull tag. Thanks for sharing.

Not sure the manufacturer but really like the titanium brake Nosler has in their Shooters Pro Shop.

LB Hunters ~ Obviously if you are members you are conscientious sportsmen. In town great. We all need to consider plus and minus of anything motorized and non game in the wild. Many non motorized hunters are fearful of what bikes have already adversely affected. Of course every location and...

REV ~ Interesting post for me for I too prefer 200 grain 30 cal for Bull elk. But at 72 still backpacking in getting a bit wimpy on rifle weight. Have a trusty 270 Wby mag that I hope will still kill a big beast a few more times.

Fewer sky lined hunters the better but only thing more special than a two hunter team is a safe memorable hunt on our own. That being said solo back packing,horse/mule hunts in our older years demands challenging planning.

I apologize for not answering the question. 450.

My mules and i pack out nephews for Bull Elk. The young dudes grew up deer hunting with 270s. I prefer 30 caliber but since we initially back pack in 4 to 6 miles for elk 270 Weatherbys with 140 regular Accubonds are doing the job at 200 to 450 yards.

Also had great experience with Leupolds for decades and decades. "Used etched glass" ask them how many models used etched now. Not to say all my Bender, NF and March all have etched. May be lame but more confidence when I can buy etched. No amount of super service makes pulling and reinstalling...

Used to have several dealings with Leupold service department. Well trained busy department. However after 3 reticle failures very cautious with any manufactures builds with wires.

Correction on a like. I wish no hunter on this fine forum move away from their bullet of choice in their personal hunting world!

Consider older bonded Hornady i believe Interbonds. Amazing penitration.

Browning is quality but SAKO is in a different class. The fins history of defending themselves with their weapons against invaders is world Epic!!

At 40 to 50 no limit at 60 4 miles hurts, near 70 limit it to 5 miles meat in tree, to home and back for my two mules.
