Yes the beat does go on... However, those of us unable to take to the woods this fall need something to yap about.
Regarding the elevation, it does make quite a difference. My 210 loads (Scirocco or TTSX) will each be at ~1950 and the 185 TTSX at 1990+ at 500yds when fired at 9k' (the lowest point where I elk hunt). As for trajectory, it certainly isn't as flat as many others, but it conveniently matches a Leupold B&P reticle quite nicely. So as long as I can get, or reasonably guess, the range it doesn't really matter too much. I wouldn't archery hunt with a one pin sight out West, why do it with a rifle? I really have no intention of shooting elk at 500yds, but I'm certain the 338 Fed cartridge is not a limitation to me.
