[QUOTE="pooldoc, post: 1097281, member: 53618"] I've hunted elk for 50 years and they can soak up a lot of lead and travel a long way if you don't get a solid hit. Like others on this forum my personal limit with a ML is 200 yds. Remington's current ad for their new Ultimate with 200 grs of pellets shows 23 inches of drop at 300 yds and no retained energy info. That's a tough shot off a bench much less in the field after running up and down the mountains at 10, 000 ft. Spend your energy getting as close as you can and making a good shot rather than tracking a wounded bull for 2 days. Get off the bench and practice shooting from different positions, different rests etc. and get in top notch condition so you can handle the terrain and enjoy the hunt. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
