[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2440074, member: 30902"] If you can reliably put it where it has to be it will work, but on an animal that large you have no margin of error with such a light bullet. Set your absolute maximum range at however many yards it is that you can make a cold bore shot 100% of the time with your hunting combo on a 6-8" circle and work from there. The 6.5's have been proven the world over more than adequate on all large game but rarely at distances over 100yds for the bulk of the last century. If I were looking to a dedicated elk round it would be a 7mm or .30 cal minimum just to give me a little larger margin of error. [/QUOTE]
