[QUOTE="Raudy707, post: 2994951, member: 105681"] As a guide we have seen a massive switch to 6.5 over the past 5 years. We have a 2 to 3 shot norm on both cow and bulls. No matter what the numbers say I'll take a 30 cal hole or bigger every day over a 257 or 6.5. 20+ elk and I have yet to see one drop in its tracks with a 6.5. I have thought with a 25-06 and 6mm creed. But they hit the spine and CNS was damaged or severed. Most elk walk off a bit, separate from the herd and then tip over. This year more guys had 7 prc than any other cartridges in camp. Trends move very fast even in the old hunting woods. It's surprising to me how trendy guys are. [/QUOTE]
