[QUOTE="Plinker147, post: 1446572, member: 88320"] We have shot a few elk with 6.5-06 from 550 to 50 yds. I would not hesitate to shoot any elk at 800 yds with mine. A good 140-147 grain bullet will do you just fine. Your not going to get many bang flop like I have with my 338 rum unless you spine them but all 6.5 kills were dead within 20 yds. BIgger never hurts as long as you can shoot it but it’s not nessecary. If you goal is killing at 900 yds plus I would go bigger. my 338rum just sits in the safe cuz it’s not fun to shoot. I shoot the chit out of my 6.5. [/QUOTE]
