[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 448244, member: 13833"] Buono....I don't mean to start an argument, but the guy who shot the elk in the shoulder with the 160 gr. was obviously using the wrong bullet and that can happen with ANY rifle/cartridge combo. I can guarantee you that the same elk shot in the shoulder with a 140 Nosler partition out of an A.I. would have gone nowhere. I have killed nearly 30 head of elk with a 6.5-06 A.I. at ranges exceeding 600 yds. and NONE got away. I guess we probably need to qualify what long range is, but I would not hesitate to use the 6.5 with the right bullet out to 800 yards or more. A .260 remington is about 150-200 yard less gun than a 6.5 A.I. My experience.........Rich [/QUOTE]
