[QUOTE="tmmcampbell, post: 1586516, member: 13941"] Fig l let this go over night to see if it still ****ed me off this morning. Obviously it does. I have killed 31 elk. Seen well over a 100 killed. I’ve lived in elk county longer than you’ve been alive. So while I might not live in your state maybe you are the out of stater who shouldn’t be listened too. The only thing you said that makes any sense is no one should shoot a gun they can’t handle. The rest of your drivel is total BS. 1. No one, except for you, (bulletproof was your word) ever said elk are bulletproof. They can be killed with a .22 2. Maybe your saying elk are not big tough animals?? If that is your position please state it so the world can see your brilliance. 3. Your experience and my experience on how well other people shoot magnums is not the same. Maybe the out of staters here are tougher than your part of the world? Or maybe we just get out and use our rifles more. Or maybe you need to hunt with someone who cares enough to be proficient with their firearms. 4. Your statement that shooting an elk in the guts with a 6.5 Creedmoor is the same as shooting one with a magnum is like saying it is the same getting ran over by a motorcycle or a simi truck. While your mouth is moving it makes no sense. I’ve seen elk shot in the guts. While this is never a good thing, large bullets moving fast do more damage than small bullets moving slower. It is a thing called physics. You might want to look that up. OP If you want to talk about experience go read what Jeff Brozovich says on the subject. He manages a large ranch and is involved in about 80 elk kills a year. His opinion mirrors mine. His direct quote when asked if the 6.5 prc is a good elk cartridge was you can chop a tree down with a claw hammer, but there are better tools for the job. Fig you are doing OP a disservice by trying to convince the world that elk are not tough and chit don’t happen while hunting. Maybe you should stick it! [/QUOTE]
