Hi Muleythumper. Yes my 6.5 is completely stock except for the accutriger spring. I'm guessing it came from the factory set at 3.5-4 ibs. on the low end so I trimmed the spring up a little little. Now it's at around 2.5 and it is the same as my other accutrigers. Very easy to do by the way. I...

I truly understand that you need to bring enough gun to the party so to speak. In the comparison's on paper I was just trying to get across that the two aren't that much different or at least close enough to ask the question. For the record I have never reloaded for my .300 because I just don't...

[QUOTE= To the OP, no offense intended, but IMO this thread is better suited for a site like 24 hr Campfire as i don't associate the 6.5 Creedmoor with Long Range Elk Hunting. Wow I didn't know I was in the professional long range hunting section. I do have a lot to learn about hunting and...

Thanks for the input guys. The consensus of most is that if you can place the shot and the yardage is within reason for the size of the animal your trying to kill that I should be fine. And factoring in my past hunting results that definitely makes a lot of sence. I've shot a deer at 25 yards...

Thanks for the input guys. You are probably right about the bigger caliber for elk especially at long distance. I want to put a muzzle brake on my .300 this summer and work up some loads for it. Not my most favorite gun to shoot from the prone position. Never shot an elk with it but it really...

Thanks for the feedback guys. I load I worked up for mine was for a Berger 140 hunting vld. Its a very forgiving round. With all my load development (I believe I worked up 12 loads to get it right) I don't think I had a group over an inch at 100 yards. For my gun (a savage 111 LRH)40.6 gr of...

Just wondering if anyone has used this gun to hunt elk and if so what were the results. I usually take my .300wsm or .338lm. I just got this gun this winter and have worked up a great 140 gr load and this Guns a real tack driver and I have the itch to use it this year. Thoughts on this would be...

Hey great thread and good shooting. You should be pretty happy your last shot at that distance with a 15x scope at a 6" circle! I'm getting anxious to go out and give this a try. I just need it to stop snowing, sleeting and raining.

I will pay for shipping if someone buys both boxes.

I have two boxes of Hornady 250 gr Match in .338 cal ammo to sell. Price of $70 buyer to pay shipping.
