[QUOTE="shirasbc, post: 1939521, member: 114845"] I have shot 9 bull elk with a 6.5x284 with a 120 grain TTX bullet. The gun is a Montana rifle company. I used to use a 340 wby mag. I bought the 6.5 for my kids because it had little recoil - took it to Saskatchewan deer hunting and fell in love with the 6.5 caliber. My friends have questioned using such a light caliber and bullet but every one of my elk did not go more the 10 yards (longest kill was 360 yards). I have found that I am a much better shooter with a lighter recoil gun and can place a bullet much more confidently in the kill zone. The Barnes bullets do a tremendous job. I just upgraded to a 6.5 SAUM - by GA Precision - right-handed action with a left-handed thumbhole by Oregunsmithing [ATTACH type="full"]202989[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
