[QUOTE="-JLS-, post: 2570884, member: 123876"] I’ve shot two cows with a 6.5CM. Both with the 124 Hammer Hunter (have since went to the 123 Absolute Hammer at 3k fps). One cow was 275, pass through. The other was 125, fronts shot. Bullet didn’t exit, I didn’t look for it. She was a true DRT. Even as accurate as my 6.5 is (Kimber Hunter, 0.5 MOA) I would probably limit any shot on elk to 400ish, even though I have the velocity to get expansion at about 600. As a close comp, I had a .280 Remington that I shot 136 Hammers out of (3100 fps). Killed two bulls with that rifle. One pass through frontal/quartering at 300 yards and a broadside pass through at 75 yards. [/QUOTE]
