I have hit a bullseye at 600 yards with 60 year old surplus ammo in a 69 year old rifle. Frankly, BFD. Shooting 600 yards on a flat surveyed range is not that difficult.
Elk are rarely at exactly 600 yards, and the bullet drops over a foot per 50 yards at that range. When you get the range wrong, and you will, you will miss or have a cripple. When you get the wind call wrong, and you will, you will miss or have a cripple.
Generally speaking, if you think taking such a shot is a good idea, you probably have no business even trying it.
