[QUOTE="Capt RB, post: 1503459, member: 85987"] Elk at/near 1k as a primary is something with a 3 for the first number. Broz did a comparison of the 7/300win and his .300 win. He said it was decidedly obvious how much more reaction to the shot the 300 was vs the same case 7. He was using the 195's I believe in the 7 as well. I'd want a big 30 at minimum and a 338edge or larger as optimum. The frontal area of the big bullets are really a plus. Add in 20-45% more mass depending what caliber and it really isn't comparable. 800 and in is different. Less time of flight less windage = less chance of a poor shot. Coyotes deer and smaller game would not demand the bigger boom stick. Elk and similar sized game though really warrant more energy on target. Perfect conditions sure a 6.5 can do it. If you can hunt every day of every season you can carry a smaller rifle for sure. If your traveling why take the chance. [/QUOTE]
