[QUOTE="Coyote_Hunter, post: 1680523, member: 110773"] If a standard .30-30 load is good for elk out to 100 yards, a 6.5 CM is good to 400. This based on best loads for each, retained velocity and energy. While I have a .338WM, .300WM and a 7mm RM, and have taken multiple elk with each, I'm not to concerned using my 257 Roberts with a 120g A-Frame, either. Over the years I've seen more elk wounded and lost by people using a .243 Win than probably all other cartridges combined. While many people think the .243 is a good choice for youngsters and other noobies, I think it is best used in the hands of an experience elk hunter. The 6.5 CM is a much better choice IMHO. [/QUOTE]
