[QUOTE="SHRTSHTR, post: 1362109, member: 12514"] Thanks Paul, I was at work and typing my previous posts when I got a minute here and there. What I was trying to say is that I totally agree with you about using a different bullet all together if shots are at closer ranges. For me that would be about 500ish and under. I built this 6.5ss for exactly this reason but being me I like to stretch it. The 6.5ss has 3 kills this year. 2 Antelope 652 yards and 1175. Daughter's Elk at 376. Maybe some of you guys can ponder this! 147 ELD M's at 3,240 fps. I would think these would grenade faster than guys running around 2800 fps. Anyway and this is funny now but not when it happened! The night before we shot daughter's Elk we spotted a big 6x6 bull. Next morning when we spotted bull same place my spotter assured me it was same 6x6 we saw and said kill it. I was helping daughter get setup and doing what we do to get ready. I asked again, is this the 6x6. He said kill it! This bull was like a statue and never moved. Any we did alright. Here is my lil girl with her bull. Smile is worth a million to me! [ATTACH=full]83968[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]83969[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
