[QUOTE="Shooter264, post: 1030954, member: 23746"] I've killed and seen several elk killed with the 6.5 130 and 140 VLD's from 55 yards to 900 yards. Cartidges used have been 6.5x47 lapua (372" bull shot at 55 yards w 130 JLK as well as several cows out to 600) 6.5-06AI (several Bulls from 150 yards to a 380" bull at 809 yards with 140 JLK's) 6.5x284 (several Bulls from 250 yards to 700 with 140 Berger VLD's) and one cow at 900 with a 6.5 SAUM and a 140 JLK. IMHO a 6.5 is hard to beat for anything in the lower 48 but I am biased because I am a complete 6.5 nut!!! As for performance I can only think of two that required a follow up shot. [/QUOTE]
