[QUOTE="FlGunner, post: 2863192, member: 94240"] Every Bullet manufacture has a “failure” at some point. Some you hear about some you don’t. Unfortunately, some folks take less than ideal shots….. not judging or trying to talk ethics…. And bullets manufactures shouldn’t take the blame as to their bullets failing on a “perfect shot “. They don’t get a say in how the bullets are used or the situation once the user is in the field…it’s Dooley on the user . Everything has its place. Some use “non-hunting” bullets…. And love em, they kill regularly with them. This whole thread reminds me of the broadhead threads on AT lol. Been an interesting read and valid points on both sides. As far as the 6.5 PRC goes, if you’re able to shoot it accurately from field positions and know your limitations, I say use it. Many elk have been killed with the good ol 270 Winchester through the years since its introduction. Better off with a Gun you can handle and shoot accurately than try and make up for it with a big magnum whatever. But on the flip side.. there’s no such thing as too dead…big holes and big energy will definitely do it too. Lastly, I will say if I could only have one rifle in my house that I currently own, it would be my Remington 700 in 270 Winchester that my father bought when I was a boy and later gave me.. never let me down.
