[QUOTE="Orange Dust, post: 1886597, member: 92702"] Been a long time since anyone accused me of not using enough gun. I am often accused of the opposite though. Told you all I would get enough flak for a war, but I like big holes in stuff, and a drain hole. I don't see blood well at night. I need lots of it. Very often you can get spectacular kills on cervids with a high lungshot with very small calibers, especially if the velocity is still high. Sometimes you don't and the chase is on. The only time a big gun is a problem is if you cannot shoot it well. I would rather be delusional and cutting up meat in camp than running around in the dark trying to figure out which way he went. I have plenty of experience at both. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a 7MM for elk. Bullets of similar construction and sectional density in 30 cal normally leave a little better blood trail, and often more reliable killers especially if the game is not really broadside. Even better with each step up, 8MM, 338, etc. Guess the 6.5 has obsoleted them all for younger folks. Pity. [/QUOTE]
