[QUOTE="snox801, post: 2333326, member: 54383"] I may be on my own for the most part but I think the 6.5 creed is fine for elk. I think you learned a lesson also which we all have. Even more than once in my case. What I can tell you from my experience is that the bullet you chose and more than likely shot placement was the issue. I do almost all my hunting with my creed because I’m most comfortable in all positions with it. After having recovered many larger animals with multi shots with that exact bullet I realized I did not like that bullet for anything more than deer. Basically made the switch after my oryx. I have had no such issues since switching. I’ve shot cutting edge and currently hammers with no issues. In fact just got back from my friends ranch in CO and they take many elk every year with the creed and were using Barnes until recently now are also using hammers. Don’t get to beat up things happen and you tried to recover. Even with a bigger round people still lose the animals sometimes. [/QUOTE]
