[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 1699817, member: 61747"] exactly. I’ve had 7mm guys use 140’s and no one bats an eye. 140 6.5 and people lose their minds. The sectional density and design of a 140 class 6.5 has proven itself over many decades to include people using the Swede on moose. Of course this is a long range page so yes the energy and FPS at the desired range is the main focus. FPS to expand and bullet design to penetrate. Get both of those right and elk don’t make it far. I’ve never told a hunter I have a minimum when it comes to normally acceptable calibers. If someone shows up with a 243 we are going hunting. Just going to not let them shoot that far. [/QUOTE]
