[QUOTE="Allen Kitts, post: 2466604, member: 103317"] I have taken seven animals with my 6.5x284 since I acquired it and have not had one get out of sight. The largest being a great Kudu bull is SA at just over 400 yards using a 140 grain Berger. I would not hesitate to use it on a Bull Elk. Shot placement is everything, IMO and if you don't have a good shot don't take it! I would agree with "hecouldgoalltheway" in that if it was a once in a lifetime deal on an elk hunt the 6.5 x 284 would not be my first choice but I think it will do the trick as long as you do your part. I have taken bulls with much smaller calibers and considerably lighter bullets. I shoot the 124 hammer hunters in my 6.5 PRC and they shoot lights out, unfortunately I have only taken deer and antelope with them. I believe that they would work well on an Elk as well. [/QUOTE]
