[QUOTE="gjemba, post: 1569372, member: 96014"] This is probably my first post, but the 6.5 cm/long range hunting is out of control. Hunters need to learn to hunt, not be snipers. There is too much wounded game by those that don't have the skills to pull off the shot. Perfect example, an acquaintance said he shot an elk at 500 yards. When asked how many shots it took, he responded 2. When he left the room, his son said it took 6 shots and the guide had to finish off the animal. This goes on way more than admitted. Be practical and shoot only to 'your' ability, not to what is read on line, and use enough bullet. As said in a previous post, 6.5x55 Swede is used all over the world on elk, moose, etc, with great success. But these people are hunting and getting within practical hunting range that they can handle, and are not trying to be snipers. [/QUOTE]
