[QUOTE="Huntnful, post: 2809863, member: 116563"] Here is a very small, immature bull elk getting hit with 3400ft lbs of energy for reference. Same shot with a 6.5 PRC would have about 2400-2500ft lbs. Well placed shots are key, but elk dont give up easy. I would still shoot an elk at probably 500 yards with a 6.5 PRC under the right conditions. But be prepared when he doesn't just fall over lol. If you're hunting country where you can't keep an eye on him for a minute or so after the shot, you could be in for whirlwind of emotions and tracking. [MEDIA=youtube]e_-fX1i2aZM[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
