[QUOTE="Forcedoutage, post: 1807990, member: 108448"] It always fun to see how everyone has their strong opinions about elk and bullet performance. This seems especially true with those who swear by the 6.5 Creedmoor as well as those who swear by Berger bullets. Both of which I own and use. But never for elk. To me it comes down to where you hunt and what type of shots you get presented. Personally, 90% or more of my opportunity at elk is in the timber with blow downs and thick as heck. A perfect broad side double lung shot is very rare. A VLD type or thin jacketed 6.5 bullet is just not practical in these conditions. My point is, we can’t assume that everyone has a place where the can sit above a meadow and take 300 yard standing still broadside shots at elk. [/QUOTE]
