Ok so you thought I was going to show you a huge elk.... well I regret to inform you on opening day I missed a huge bull elk at 500 yards with my 30-06 180grn bullet with 54 grains of powder.

You ask why how is that possible..... HELLO IT'S 500 YARDS..LOL it was bigger then a 7x7 and it had stickers poping out of every were.... I tell ya though after my fourth shot attempt I got close and threw up dirt on the last bullet and he ran.

But I didn't leave with nothing. So here we are... and it's huge. Dont you think?

Nice shooting Norbert. Did you shoot at the elk in the area I took you in, in the spring?

Nice critters! Switch up to a 300 win mag, or 300 rem Ultra mag and you woulda hit that big ole bull elk! Moosin

Congrats on the turkey and deer! Too bad about the elk. Always next year :)

500 yards with 30-06 and 180's is doable. I was hitting the 500 yard gong (30-06 180's) this summer with a good rest. Of course the BDC reticle helps :)

Man, you gotta try to close the distance on those animals. 500 yards is a long poke, a lot can go wrong over that distance.

That's a pretty hilarious setup for the turkey.

Yup I also agree that it might start.

Even though you didn't get the elk at least you got to see it, and nice deer glad you got something to bring home.

I think we are more mature than that!!! But still a 500 yrd shot with a little ole 30'06?? That is 300 win mag/300 RUM country!! No one can kill an elk at 500 yrds with a non magnum cart. Next thing you will tell me is that he was using rem core locs to boot??!!:wink: :twisted: Moosin

budismyhorse

10-26-2010, 08:51 PM

how could it not...??

the guy is chucking long range shots (multiple shots, meaning he has no clue where they are hitting) at a bull elk with a 30-06......

I'm pretty sure someone is going to take him up on it....;)

hmmmm buttered or salted tonight....??

hey hey, them core locs are great bullets-taken some fine animals with them... i dunno what the bullet drop of them would be at 500yrds but im guessin well over 4 feet..

Nice shooting Norbert. Did you shoot at the elk in the area I took you in, in the spring?

i tried all that area that you showed me, called in a few but they were to young to shoot they were under 6x6. It was cool calling them in though. Called in a few cows as well and they caught my scent and started to bark at me, they stuck around for a while barking at me. At first it caught me off guard and made me jump when she screamed at me so close but I got use to it quickly as a young bull was near which I couldn't shoot. The one I was trying for was deep in the woods close to a nice grass/gas line area. Im still with out an elk and would love to try again if I could so if ya can get me on one id be out a.s.a.p.....lol

CoreLokts kill elk dead. However, if anyone thought a 30/06 180 PSP CoreLokt only dropped 4 feet at 500 yards (zeroed at 200), then they'd miss too.

Bullet drop at 500 yards: -72.8 inches.

30-06 has enough steam @ 500 to work, since its ballistics at that range are about the same as a 30-30 @ 100 yards. The 30-30 is a proven cartridge for big game at 100 yards, no point in disputing that.

however 500 is a long poke with any cartridge, 30-06 or 300 Ultra and you must be well practiced and know your rifle very well. Merely lobbing them in there hoping to hit is not good enough, shows very little respect for the elk. JMO

If you guys are looking to discuss what cartridges do what, open up a post for that, this isn't the place to post that info. I have no interest for that stuff and dont care to go that deep into it to tell ya the truth.

You have no interest in what cartridges do what ? You owe it to the animal to at least know what YOUR cartridge can do :evil:
4 shots eh ? you have no buisness taking those shots imo .

NoLimit99

10-26-2010, 09:49 PM

hmmm let me see you took 4 shots at 500 yards. have you ever heard of maybe getting close enough to ummm maybe have a chance at killing the animal not just wounding them or maybe you should practice hay maker shots more on a target first

Here's the thing I dont have to explain the whole thing of how it went down because I wasn't interested in your thoughts or opinions just to show ya some pics. Because If I did explain the situation at the time I fired the 4 shots you would of understand but, as I dont care of opinions I would have tryed to shoot it at 900 yards if I could and I would of fired 8 or even 16 bullets if I had them readily available. So ya see either way no explanation is needed to you or any of the others that remind me of church go ers trying to convert me to their sadistic religions.

Im sure we all tried shots we couldn't handle at one point in our life, it just makes us practice and become better.
Good luck with the elk hunting.

Sounds like your a dickhead................IMO:wink: Lets just hope you didn't actually hit the elk and left it out there to die and waste. Did you even go check for blood or signs of a hit? Or did you feel he didn't react to the shot so he couldn't have been hit?

Keep up the good shootin there sniper.

Dude!! Exhale!! Whew, feel better??!! Any animal, 2 pointer, or 7x7 elk deserves our respect, and saying that lobbing hail marys at it doesnot show that respect, and that is not JMO it is FACT!! Sportsmen know their ballistics, know their abilities and know that when they pull the trigger that critter will be dead period!! A 30'06 will kill an elk at 500 yrds, but under the correct circumstances with a practiced shooter, that knows what his rifle and cart. combo is capable of. So tell us you missed an elk, shot a turkey, and a beauty deer and spare yourself the ridicule which you deserve for making such nonsence comments such as lobbing hail marys at an elk from half a kilometer away!! Simple dude!! Moosin

WTF

Maybe it's the way you typed it but it sounded like you might not be capable of taking shots at a live target at that distance. Hveing a PAL or RPAL doesn't make you capable.

Answer this, would you have felt bad if you wounded the elk?
