That's great Mike. Thank you. It looks like the 80gr load will be more than enough for elk and bear. Even at a longer range than i'd take. At a max of 75 yds 70gr might be enough. 1200lb of energy is enough for elk and bear. 70gr would have that easily.

I need to tame the recoil a bit though. I'm thinking a thin shoulder pad will be enough.
