[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 573940, member: 25383"] I don't think anybody is saying that a 25-06 or a 6.5-06 isn't capable of killing elk. But I think what they are trying to say is that the bullet construction maybe a little light. It takes a pretty good bullet to break the shoulder bones on a bull elk. The guy that shot elephant with a mauser cartridge was Bell if memory serves me right. And I think he killed several with a 6.5x57 mauser. But he was also extremely close to the target. Capstick did a thing on him many years ago. gary [/QUOTE]
