300 yards with any modern round should be a chip shot as Elk are pretty big and a rifle sighted 2-3" high at 100 will be within 3" at 300 for any magnum round. But my range estimating ability goes out the window when I am first in new territory. I 'll guess and then use a range finder and often am up to 200 yards off. I like the hold on hair or don't shoot philosophy as when I add Kentucky windage on top of poor range guesstimate things can go wrong pretty quick.

I subscribe to the pie plate theory or however far I can maintain a six inch group 100% of the time. Factor in being winded, heavy breathing on your scope a little Bull fever and range limitations get shorter and shorter.
