[QUOTE="western living, post: 3004273, member: 128694"] I can appreciate that I'm over-analyzing. I get it. Part of the reason for that is because I can't just go hunt. A bull elk tag in my state comes maybe once in 10 years. I can't afford to hunt out of state. I also can't afford another larger caliber elk-specific rifle. I mean, I could spend the money, but it would leave me short for helping my kids that are about to go through college. I hope to get pronghorn tags with them this coming fall, and I'll be building points for elk. We didn't win the pronghorn tags we wanted last year, but they did get mule deer tags which we got to go. While we were out there, we saw 6 bull elk. Yeah, I'm stuck here analyzing, especially this time of year. I won't even get going for elk this coming season. I have some points, but not enough. I have a decent chance at a pronghorn tag. I was just going to use the same bullet for both, but maybe I'm better off with a lighter 100 grain mono for antelope at 3600 fps and I'll figure out the elk bullet and the load for it when I actually get a tag.
