[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1437402, member: 68875"] A 6.5x47L is fully capable of taking elk to 500+, and deer to 700+ using the right bullet....and proper shot placement. I have a 6.5SLR that pushes a 127 LRX @ 3050. Or a 140 HVLD @ a leisurely 2840fps. Both have taken deer well past 500. The 127 LRX @ 637 yards, DRT, by my 14 year old daughter, and the 140 HVLD @ 772 by my brother. I know plenty of guys who have taken elk, both bulls and cows, with a 6.5CM out to 600. More about the shot placement than the cartridge within reason. I would take an accurate 6.5CM w. good scope for elk to 600 over a crappy .300WM w. a *** scope that doesn't track. [/QUOTE]
