[QUOTE="straightshooter, post: 402811, member: 9775"] I feel, in the area that I hunt that 650 yards will be the longest shot that I will have to take. I have seen elk shot at 75 yards with a 7mm Remington magnum, and still make it a long way. Our hunting group has a rule, if they are still moving, we are still shooting. Once they go down they aren't allowed to get back up, and yes, I have seen that happen too. Elk tenaciously hang on to life, they are absolutely amazing animals. I have seen a recent video of an elk shot with a 6.5-284, so I admit it can be done, but I just don't feel comfortable with these small caliber bullets. The .284 caliber is about my lowest limit for elk hunting. [/QUOTE]
