[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 1974899, member: 109862"] thanks for that observation about one shot kill rates. I’ve long thought that the guides who witness enough kills firsthand to draw some conclusions probably make their recommendations for a reason and I know many elk guides cite the .270 win as the minimum. Some right away point out that with the high bc bullets the 6.5 creed catches and then exceeds the 270 but the headstart on the Winchester is such that the 6.5 only starts beating it at distances where neither would be appropriate.
