1800 FPS and 1250 FT-LBS is what I believe Big Fin states as his reasonable limit, and what I choose to use. For a factory 165 Nosler Accubond at whatever conditions they test at then your max effective range would be right around 550 yards. Most elk hunts will occur at higher altitudes so you’re likely to get a little more range than that. Like Topgun says, that’s farther than most people should be shooting at live animals.
No, it doesn't.just shoot a RUM makes life easier.

What's the effective terminal range of a 308 on a bull elk
this is such a loaded question but I would think 500 would be plenty far for that round, just shoot a RUM makes life easier.
I don’t worry to much about energy numbers just as long as the bullet has enough velocity to expand. You will run out of velocity that the bullet is designed to expand at before you run out of enough energy majority of the time. 357 with 180 grain bullet has like 600 foot pounds of energy at the muzzle. An elk isn’t shrugging that off
just checkin' to see if it's in the sewer yet..
