[QUOTE="ohiohunter, post: 1121831, member: 55230"] I would no doubt toss the 25-06 out of the decision, just too light for elk and too light in this NM wind. The CM is a wicked little round but I'm thinking 600yds may be a hair long for elk. If you like the smaller bullets I'd go w/ the 6.5x284, but personally I'd step up my weight and go 280, 284, or 7mm mag. Even just a range gun the high BC 7mm bullets typically yield better results. If my max range is 600yds I want to get there w/ authority, not barely. FYI... the 600yd mid range f-class out here (NM) is dominated by the 7mm. Some guys have gone from the 6.5x284 to the 284... others have gone 284 to 284 shehane. Its been a while since I've been to the 1000yd f-class, but if I recall correctly there isn't much difference from the mid range. [/QUOTE]
