[QUOTE="Backcountry_IDN, post: 1452590, member: 106153"] You know, i have seen videos of people dropping elk with a .243 or a 6.5 creed. All about shot placement. But, in this world $#!t happens and a person can pull their shot or didnt read the wind right. Many variables. I have a .300wm and almost built 6.5-284. The kinetic energy is what I look at. With a bigger animal (elk) I am wanting as much kinetic energy as possible. With my .300wm I dont go below 1000 ft/lbs of energy until 1400 yard which I would never take something that far. But I am still holding 2000 ftlbs of energy at 600 or 800 yards I would have to look on my chart again. My 6.5-284 will be strictly deer and smaller game. Just my personal preference. [/QUOTE]
