[QUOTE="iowacity, post: 1611166, member: 32223"] I’ve killed 1 elk with a 6.5 creedmoor and 130 bergers. Shot just behind the shoulder, it died within 15 yards. That being said, I have shot an elk with a 243 and 95gr bullets with no issues. The bullet exited the bull at 350 yards on a broadside shot. My wife killed her bull ( a huge bodied bull estimated at 12-14 years old) last season with a 6 creedmoor using 105 hybrids. The bullet went through the heavy joint on the shoulder and wrecked the chest. So to sum it up, in my experience, a 6.5 creedmoor with a Berger bullet or similar will work fine on elk to at least 600 yards. [/QUOTE]
