[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 2667474, member: 68875"] I love my two 6.5 SSs. My 26" pushes a 156 @ 3066 easily with a moderate load of N565. I would feel fine to use it for elk at 800+. Just my opinion. It definitely has the retained velocity and energy at that distance where we hunt elk. I have a 24" 7SS that pushes a 184 Hyb @ 2928fps. It is wicked accurate and is going elk hunting in 3 days. I have found the SSTs and SSs to be very easy to find, and maintain a load for. I am working on a brand new cartridge too. Only 3 week old baby. The 6.5PRC/SI (Sherman Imp). It is right there with a 6.5SST. With a 22" barrel, with H1000, I have hit 3013fps with no pressure, but that is right about max. .5gr more started to show a touch of bolt lift. All in a true SA still. [/QUOTE]
