[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1525891, member: 13632"] I've killed a good enough number of elk with a 6.5 SS in the 800 plus minus range that it's abundanly clear it's pushing the bullets, this is why we worked on getting the 160 Matrix made is that's what it takes to legitimately be consistently taking elk with a 6.5 at these ranges and not have issues. Shot placement is beyond critical, I've seen several bullets not capable of breaking an elks spine at those ranges even, if one dropped a second shot needs to immediately follow cause you simple don't have the bullet to blow out enough goodies to make a fast kill with a high or shoulder shot. You can fix the mag issue with the Tikka by popping the bottom of the mag and just sanding or scrapping a little inside the back half inch and they'll run like butter. [/QUOTE]
