[QUOTE="Hespco, post: 2438831, member: 109476"] Since 1994 I have been taking my elk each season with a 6.5 ( 6.5x308, 260 Rem, 6.5x55, 6.5x05 ) & a 120 to 127gr copper mono bullet. Has "never" failed me. In 1893 the 6.5x55 came out, & it has taken literally every type of game on earth. It has been used since it's conception to take Moose in Scandinavian countries. Still very popular there today. What counts is a tough deep penetrating bullet " PROPERLY PLACED ". In my younger days I believed I had to used my .338 mag. for elk. Still have it, but haven't fired it for years. Some how I still harvest my elk with out it. Any reasonable cartridge with a proper , tough , deep penetrating bullet . properly placed will work.
