[QUOTE="Kvichak, post: 1572454, member: 86212"] I’ve shot a couple elk along with dozens of moose. I would not build a 6.5 for Elk. It will work if shot placement is perfect. My first Elk was with a 270. Shot the elk in the neck and it went right down. The farther you want to shot an elk the more bullet you’ll need. From what I’ve read, the biggest bullet for a 6.5 is 140 grain. That weight is in my opinion is the minimum. And not adequate beyond 400 yards. I would recommend a 7 mm caliber. I’m thinking of building a 6.5 Creedmore for Caribou and Muledeer. In Alaska if we shoot and wound an animal, then it gets away. We cannot shoot another one. [/QUOTE]
