[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 807703, member: 12995"] I never mentioned any specific caliber in this thread. I agree that of those 2 calibers, the 300 WSM would be the more suitable and logical option. I never said I would choose the 6.5 Creed over the 300 WSM, or at what distance it was capable of killing an elk. Being that I've never shot an Elk, that would be stupid of me. I just said that yes, it was capable of killing an elk...Which everyone agreed that it is, but as others on here have said, at a limited range comparatively. I have been shooting guns literally my entire life. I know how larger diameter bullets vs smaller diameter bullets work & function, and that their wound cavity is greater, vital shock is more intense and severe, they're more forgiving, they produce greater internal damage, a larger bleed hole, etc... I have never once argued that, b/c facts are facts. I HAVE argued that it is not always necessary to have the largest rifle available to get the job done. That is all I have been saying. I never once said the smaller caliber was more capable than the larger caliber, because that would be obsurd. I have stated that some 7mm projectiles have a higher BC than some of the .30 caliber projectiles. And that the 7mm's have a flatter trajectory based on their shape and design. And that they can also get the job done. Might not be quite as intense of an impact or results, but capable none-the-less. I might not have always said it in quite the positive conveyance, and for that I do appologise for the confusion, and my overzealousness. I do not like getting into confrontations (I know it appears quite differently), but I do not. These are, however, internet forums for people to discuss things, instead of being short-sided and 1-dimensional. I'm sure we can all agree on this, and move along in a civil manner. I will quit giving my opinion in this thread, as it is apparantly unwanted. Good luck to the OP, and hope you have a good seasonal harvest. And for the record...This post is in no way intended to be sarcasm, so there is no need for sarcastic retorts. [/QUOTE]
