[QUOTE="travisch, post: 207132, member: 11366"] I've killed 4 elk with a 6.5 BRM built by Eben Brown of Eabco from 40 to 300 yards. Its all about bullet type and shot placement. This round is basically a 30-30 thats been necked down to 6.5 with the shoulder moved up. I use 38 grains of VV160 that pushes a 140 grain berger VLD at 2500 fps. I think this is slightly less then the Grendel. My point is that the 6.5 is fine but take a look at bullet performance. A 400 yrd shoulder shot on an elk with this round would be questionable but if its a shoulder hit [U]you[/U] didn't do your part. Some people will flame me for using a berger which is considered a match bullet which is fine as we're all entitled to our opinions. I've killed a lot of animals with match grade bullets and I prefer the multiple wound channels when the bullet fragments. [/QUOTE]
