[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 1664396, member: 14204"] This is purely relative; you have to synthesize what it is being presented to you. I am a big fan of the .264 caliber but I will NEVER use either of your choices on elk at 800 yards. Yes, I have a 6.5 CM (also 6.5x55 and .264 WM build in progress); it is "my" unwritten rule and "I" try to use the 1000FT-LBS on deer and 1500 FT-LBS elk impact energy. Run the numbers and that's the range limit ... but that's just me. And yes, I have also harvested elk at 931 yards with a .300 WM. The "NUT" behind the trigger remains the key factor. This is nice article but like I said, you need to synthesize what is being presented >>> [URL]https://www.gunsamerica.com/digest/hunt365-6-5-creedmoor-vs-300-win-mag/[/URL]. The article also use the same unwritten rule I have. :) [/QUOTE]
