[QUOTE="Ltbullken, post: 1498352, member: 80386"] I wouldn’t take a 400 yd shot on an elk with a 6.5 CM. That’s pushing the limits of the cartridge in my opinion. I’d settle on a 300 yd shot to the heart/lungs. I’d also consider using a 130 NP. Or 130TSX. But you need to make sure your impact velocity above 2000 fps to be sure the bullets perform properly. That limits your effective range to about 300 - 350 at the outer limits. You could go with a frangible bullet like an ELDX which extends your range but then you want to place that bullet in the heart/lung area. In my opinion, to be ethical, I’d keep the 6.5 CM for elk to within 300 and be very careful with shot placement. [/QUOTE]
