[QUOTE="D.Camilleri, post: 1675300, member: 2567"] I will join in just for fun. I have killed a lot of deer,elk and antelope over the last years. The shots that stick out in my mind are the DRT's. The shots that haunt me are the animals I never recovered, some hit well, some hit poorly due to something beyond my control. If you want to hunt with a 6.5 go for it, choose your bullet wisely, because the bullet is more important than anything else. If you are hunting in Griz country, either take out a large life insurance policy or have a buddy with a .33 something as a back up. Just remember our Griz are smart, they let the hunters kill the elk and then go see how tough the hunter is! P.S., ask some of our Alaska brothers if they know of any guides that use a 6.5 as a bear fight stopper, Nuff Said! [/QUOTE]
