Have an upcoming elk hunt and sorting through my existing rifle options.
Couple questions:
1. For 54 cal PRB is there a velocity to achieve or just best accuracy? Have a good charge with 90 grs FFF that gets me 1710 fps
2. I have a short barrel 50 cal that with 80gr FFF PA conicals, I got 1600 fps. Ran out of powder, before getting a good ideas of groups, but a respectable velocity from a 21 inch barrel. Seems the heavier 50 gr conicals would be similar to the 54 cal PRB for elk shots?
