[QUOTE="Jerry M, post: 1250111, member: 6330"] Elephants killed with 6.5 Mannlicher by Bell and others were reported using 160 FMJ (and .303 British FMJ) Military surplus ammo at tag-you-are-it ranges were very cool-headed shooters. The idea of shooting an elephant and running up his back to shoot others in the heard is no longer practiced, as it was at that time. This is really not relevant in current hunting practices. The Elk guide I was with in Montana would not let one hunter use his .260 Remington or .25-06 as they were too light for bull elk in his opinion. The only elk killed that week was a bull at something like 367 yards, with a .338 Rem Ultra Mag. I believe that is too far to be shooting at elk with .260 Rem, 6.5 Creedmoor, or 6.5x47 etc. Buy a bigger rifle, you have a perfect excuse. Good luck Jerry [/QUOTE]
