[QUOTE="MTLIVIN, post: 1529873, member: 42384"] I agree with many comments here about bad media info leaking it’s way to the average hunter. I’ve personally talked 3 experienced hunters out of buying a creed for an elk gun after they bought the hype, it’s just not an all around elk caliber. Cow elk in a meadow, maybe, but a bull elk in the mountains is a different story. I learned quickly that a 6.5 is accurate and fun as hell to shoot, it’s making the average guy shoot more and better and that’s great! But I had to track the first Muley I shot w my 6.5x284 140 Berger for about 80 yards without a blood trail in thick brush, found him but not before I decided it was stupid to leave my 300 mag at camp. I’ve found too many dead or wounded elk that weren’t recovered, so what your a good shot, shoot an elk caliber for elk! [/QUOTE]
