[QUOTE="josip89, post: 2334428, member: 80010"] I dont understand need to shoot elk with 6.5 at 700y. This year I have two hunters on reed deer (in Croatia) ,father and soon. Father have 6.5 need (a lot) more with nosler accubond (dont know what weight and speed) son have 338 lapua with some eldx or eldm. Father shoot first at 500ish meters hit elk but ,elk dont show much and go futher ,shoot number 2 at 700ish meter is hit but Idid not see where. Elk was lost. We search with bloodhound find trail but did not find elk ,it go more than 8 kilometers and then we cant follow it any more. Father is some competitor shooter and that is his competition rifle. Son on the other hand is not so good shooter but at 625 meters he shoot elk and shoot in the gut. Elk clearly show hit and he run away about150 meters and then stop and at 680meters took another pill and go away 50 meter and fall for good. My first point ,shoot placment is key but with suitable bullet and cartridge for hunt. Second point is I dont allow any more any 6.5 for game heavier than 50kg. Third point is more powerfull cartridge with not so good shoot placement will do more than less powerfull cartridge also with not so good shoot placement. [/QUOTE]
