[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 807952, member: 11717"] First question... did you read the rest of my post? Next... did you really want advise or did you just want folks to say, yeah go ahead and hunt elk with your CM? Next.... this isn't the "professional long range site", it's the Long Range Hunting site. My intent was not to make you feel stupid. It was to clarify the purpose of this forum. Like I said... no offense... if you take offense that's your problem. There is no way on Earth you are going to compare a 6.5 Creedmoor to a 300 WSM. You are picking and choosing your bullets to draw twisted conclusions. In my 300 WSM, with a 24" barrel, I can get 2930 with RL17 and a 210 Berger with a BC of .631 and probably the same MV with a 215 with a BC of .696 With H4350 I can get 2750. The 210 and 215 are 50% larger than the 6.5 140 bullet with a higher BC and a higher velocity. You do the math. There is no comparison. If you have taken the time to read posts in these forums from elk hunters who live in elk country you will see that the vast majority of them prefer 300 and 338 mags for Long Range Elk Hunting. There's a reason for that. Like I said, I have a friend who hunts elk with a 243, but not at Long Range and it would not be my first choice for any range. I'm guessing your hunt will be in Montana or Wyoming or Colorado or some western state that offers out of state elk hunting. I don't have a problem with out of state hunters getting a chance at our elk, but guided hunters do get more priviledge than the average resident in this state and that rubs me a little. If you do come here or another state and you decide to leave your 300 or 338 at home, make sure when you pull the trigger you get the job done. You get what I'm saying? [/QUOTE]
