[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1468677, member: 8873"] Gonna echo what others have said: A 6.5 CM will kill an elk, but I have seen elk absorb some serious lead and not flinch. Plus I tend to think worst case, not best case. A week before heading to Colorado last year for an elk hunt my .338 RUM crapped the bed on me. I bought a Ruger American in 30-06 (no lefty magnum cartridges) and have been really impressed with it. Real light and super accurate with the only two loads I’ve tried, 210 Bergers and now 166 grain Hammer Hunters. Was gonna sell it after the hunt but decided to keep it, if nothing else as a backup. That was $370 well spent. Wish it were a .300 WinMag, but I just won’t shoot it as far. [/QUOTE]
