[QUOTE="Wyo220, post: 1468631, member: 72237"] I live in south west Wyoming. We get to hunt elk in the desert and the high country. I grew up using a model 70 in a 300 HH, it was my first center fire rifle. I killed a lot of elk with it. I went to college and got smarter and decided a 264 win would be the ticket over that old outdated HH. I killed a few elk with it, and made fun of my dads old HH he still shoots. He would just shake his head and tell me I would see some day. Well it happened a few years ago. I rebarreled that 264 to a 300 win and wont go back. Can a 6.5 kill elk? Of course it can, but as most above have said .3 anything is good insurance when everthing isnt perfect. I still love .264 just not for elk. YMMV. Good luck. Kyle [/QUOTE]
