That would be my choice of caliber, not sure if that bullet but there are options. scdogman built one before they were commercially available by necking up the 26 Nosler, thread link below is a bull elk he took with it at little over 600 yards. https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/7324304 lf the saying "Liar, Liar your pants on fire" were true Mainstream news might be fun to watch
