While horseback hunting mule deer in Wyoming, a big bull started rounding up his harem to get them over the horizon. I lasered the distance at 400 yards. I remember thinking if I had an elk tag it would have been a pretty good chance I could have taken him from a sitting or prone position. My 160 accubond 7 RM load has grouped 5 shot 400 yard groups under 6" on targets. So, I consider that to be approaching my limit, I would try a bit longer on something as large as elk if my position was good enough to keep the scope steady.
