[QUOTE="COBrad, post: 1764820, member: 1940"] I’ve shot a fair number of elk with the 7mag, and had a custom long range rifle that was built specifically to shoot marmots. Several kills past the .75 mile mark with that gun. It was a shooter. IIRC, my drift at 1400 was .75 inch for each .1 mph at full value. On the really long shots I needed to have pretty calm and steady wind conditions to have real confidence in the shot. I was shooting 180 grain Berger hvld’s at 2995 FPS. I shot my furthest elk with that rifle at 1098 yds. Dead calm morning. One shot behind the left shoulder broke the right shoulder and found under the hide. For those distances I am very selective about atmospheric conditions and shot angle. The big guns hit harder but a bad hit with one at those distances is still a bad hit. To answer the OP directly I would use the 28 Nosler and 195 Berger with confidence. [/QUOTE]
