[QUOTE="drtony, post: 1468562, member: 106501"] Is the 6.5 CM "enough" caliber for elk hunting out to 400-500 yards? Or would I be better served with a 300 WM or 7mm Mag? The large caliber would have a single use: hunting in the west which may not happen too often. The 6.5CM will have the ability to be used closer to where I live and can hunt on a more regular basis. But, I for sure have an elk tag and need a gun that can get that job done first and foremost! It would just be nice if the 6.5CM can do both :) Also, I am aware that shot placement is everything. But I want to have leeway in case of less than perfect situations. [/QUOTE]
