[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1530081, member: 54178"] [B]BULL ELK->[/B] my .300 Win mag Browning A-Bolt with 180 - 215 grain [I]hunting[/I] bullets. (I would accept a 6.5 PRC with 150 gr. hunting bullets. It has enough energy to 500 yards.) [B]ANTELOPE, DEER AND COW ELK->[/B] MY 6.5 Creedmoor Browning X-Bolt Pro with 129 - 143 grain hunting bullets, depending on the animal. Many heavy wild hogs are killed with 6.5 CM bullets so it can do the job when properly placed at a reasonable range, say within 400 yards. So yes, you need to be [I]within[/I] 300 yards with at least a factory Hornady 143 grain ELD-X bullet that is [U]well placed[/U] to ethically down a bull elk with a 6.5 CM. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
