[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 906151, member: 13833"] Here is another way of putting into perspective the capability of a 160 Matrix in the 6.5 Sherman or 6.5 SS with a .328 sectional density: Below are equivalent bullet weights for the same SD: .284=175 gr. .308=220 .338=260 Now do some research and see which cartridge it takes to equal this. Sure, the others have more energy at the same velocity but the Matrix/Sherman combo still has 1337 ft lbs at 1000 yards so even if you are one who believes it takes 1000 ft lbs to kill an elk, you can see why I think the 6.5 is lethal......Rich [/QUOTE]
