[QUOTE="Roughwater, post: 1531349, member: 33915"] If a picture speakes a thousand words then LOL on that last pic. The 6.5 reminds me of the 308 Winchester. Very efficient, moderate recoil, very accurate in the right gun with the right shooter. Unlike older similar rounds is often paired with a rifle with a fast twist enabling it to handle longer higher BC bullets. It's not especially powerfull but being paired with a fast twist rifle increases it's bullet selection. No one will ever accuse me of being a genious, not sure if I can even spell the word correctly. But I feel a more powerful caliber is a better choice for Elk hunting. That said, I believe if you do choose a 6.5 then for heavy game like Elk, bullet selection is paramont. I'm not going deep into that subject as it would probably stir up even more contraversey. With more bullet calibers coming out in heavier higher BC versions I hope more gun makers will come out with more rifle models in faster twist versions. Browning has done so to some extent with some of their x-bolt rifles. I always thought a 270 caliber rifle with a fast twist with it's high SD and with a high BC bullet would make a great hunting caliber even greater. [/QUOTE]
