[QUOTE="Deleted member 25294, post: 1454734"] If you want a lightweight 500 yard rifle for elk hunting then a 6.5x284 would be an excellent choice. Don't let others convince you that it's not an elk round, I killed two bulls last year with my super light 6.5 Saum one at 200, the other at 350 yards. I used a 140 partition for the closer shot, and a 147 ELD-M for the longer. Both bulls died nearly instantly. Shot placement and ability to track your shots ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING for long range hunting. I love the 7 mags but not in a light package. I wouldn't suggest a 6mm but as an example my buddy dropped a cow elk at 450 yards this last season with a 243 ,perfect shot placement and she went down on the spot. [/QUOTE]
