[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1499817, member: 87243"] That is fantastic!! I had the opportunity to take a shot on a bull elk the other day, the herd was ranging from 1215 to 1378, I have shot many, many rounds at this range with this rifle, and in the current conditions I was in I was very confident I could make a vital zone hit, but I wasn't going to do it with my particular set up, because it was around under 1000 ft. lbs and getting within 50fps or so of my minimum for this bullet, plus in testing I wasn't fully confident in the bullets performance at that range, so I spent the entire morning sipping on coffee and eating a breakfast burrito watching a herd of 120+ elk graze and walk around a mountain top across a canyon from me, and quite enjoyed it. During the middle of the day, I confirmed my morning confidence by making a cold bore impact on a rock slightly over 1 MOA at 1389 yards. I was rewarded that evening by the same herd moving across the middle of the mountain, and harvested the bull I picked out of the herd that morning at 816 yards. It was well worth it, I only had to hike myself up half that mountain, not all the way ha ha!! It's all about knowing your equipment, which you obviously do. Fantastic job!! [/QUOTE]
