[QUOTE="Joefrazell, post: 1990407, member: 101262"] As far as the 6.5 for elk goes I've done alot of research and really feel like that 140-156gr 6.5 bullets around 2900-3000 fps is a good choice for long range. Personally I've killed a bull at 267 yards with a 117 gr interlock out of a 25-06 and get this, the bull just tipped right over. Buddy shot one at 927 with a 143 gr out of 6.5cm. Not saying that's a great idea but it went down after taking a few steps. Also seen bulls soak up great shots with 7 rm and 300 win mags. Elk are elk and they will die when their good and ready is how I see it. I will be there with my win mag and 215's to back her up but I doubt she'll need it. I wanna build her a rifle that recoils like a .243 and deflects wind at longer ranges so she can make good hits. [/QUOTE]
