[QUOTE="Stokesrjsr, post: 1664943, member: 108548"] I have multiple rifles chambered in both 260 and 6.5 CM as well as other 6.5 bore rifles such as 6.5 Grendel, 6.5X54, 6.5X55, 6.5-284, 6.5 STW and 6.5 Weatherby Magnum. My favorite of them all is the 6.5 Creedmoor both for competition and for hunting. But for elk when I can, I use a 300 Win Mag 18” Suppressed and 208 grain A-Max or ELDM. It simply crumples big bull elk and gives me wide latitude for shot angle selection. However, I have cleanly killed multiple big heavily muscled bull elk with my 6.5 Creedmoor. Perhaps shot placement and shot angle selection is more critical with the Creedmoor than with the WM and I would limit my range to 600 yards, but if you put it in the lungs the results are indistinguishable from the 300 Win Mag.
