[QUOTE="VLD Pilot, post: 2307227, member: 103947"] The 6mm (.243) bullet has and will adequately anchor elk at very long ranges. I've seen it done and heard by dozens of others that have done it. Very long ranges like 800 yards. That's very long for a .243 with a 105 grain bullet IMO for big game. Personally I wouldn't do it as I have so many better rifle cartridges to pick from. For the guy or gal that doesn't have those options and knows there rifle and can make that shot and has made that shot in various conditions, I say, get after it. For the guns I use at LR, I have zero issues shooting that and further on an elk size animal (provided the conditions allow it). It's just not gonna be the .243 that I use. [/QUOTE]
