[QUOTE="meatyrem, post: 1130469, member: 26633"] I know that a 280 will work for elk and I have posted about the 280 before on different loads but what I am interested in knowing is what are your thoughts about bullet weights? I have other elk rifles that will be better suited but my buddy who will possibly go with me doesn't want to use a shoulder breaker like my 300 ultra or 7mm ultra so I said he could use my 280. I have a good load in 140 accubond with H-4831sc grouping around .25 inch and about 2950 fps. Will this load work for elk with a careful shot? I was thinking of moving up to 160 accubonds and wanting to know if it would be much of a difference moving up 20 grains of weight or just stick with the 140 gr. I don't have a problem with moving up to the 160's but I would like to know what some good loads would be for this. I have H-4831sc, H1000, superformance, I don't have RL-22 but can get some as I feel it would be a good performer too. Rifle: M700 CDL 24" stock What do you think: Stay with the 240's or move up to the 160's? [/QUOTE]
