[QUOTE="IHFarmer07, post: 2967119, member: 75397"] Don’t have a dog in this fight for elk but in my 26” 4 groove 1-7 barreled rifle I had issues with the 147 eldm’s blowing up after the barrel warms(4-5 shots)…..normally not an issue hunting but it tells me I’m on the threshold of having to many rpms on them, so I opted not to use them on game, they shot great otherwise from 100y-1083y. Not a hammer fan but I shoot the bd2’s and have had good results so far on deer and steel. The bd2 mono divots the steel at 650y going 3217 ish. The berger eol 156 have done good for me as well, I’d like more kills with them but they always shoot good and at 650y going 2937fps, they punch holes in my homemade 3/8” thick grader blade target and smack with authority. If I was hunting for elk, I definitely would have a bigger gun for it but if I’m strictly limited to the 6.5prc, I would have to limit its range(500y) and I would use a mono option first and foremost I believe (Badlands, Barnes, Maker, hammer). Then my second choice would be for a bonded bullet like the regular accubond or ABLR(if they shoot good in said rifle), fed terminal ascent, then go to the regular cup and cores, ie the berger elite hunters or eol, eldm, a-tip.
