[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 2638542, member: 68875"] I loaded for the first ever built 6SST. It is a mean laser beam. You can load them down to sub-3200fps easily with H1000 for PRS shoots. But run the 115s up to 3500+ for zapping deer and pronghorn a LONG way out there. I have a couple buddies that hunt Coues and mule deer with them and have 1-shot kills over 1K with them using 105 Hyb and 108 Elites. Personally, I would use a bigger bullet for elk. Look long and hard at the 25SST. The 133 Elite and 135 LR Hyb have been racking up the game for a bunch of guys I know. This year alone, I know of 6 elk and 10+ mule/Coues deer plus a few pronghorn. From up close and personal to send it in the mail far. Recoil seems almost against physics light, and the speeds attainable are nothing to sneeze at. 3300+ with a 26" is not hard to do, and 3050+ in a 20" is very reasonable. The .257 heavies BCs are very impressive too. [/QUOTE]
