[QUOTE="19elkhunter51, post: 1601313, member: 14169"] If you shoot consistently at a thousand yards and consistently shoot from less than perfect conditions at a thousand yards this is not the shot to be taking. Particularly with a less than adequate cartridge. I know. My "uncle, grandfather, second cousin and Jim Bob" all killed elk by the thousands with a 22 LR. Can it be done? Sure. Should it be done? Not by some like this **** poor shooter. Is bigger better? Only if you can use it accurately. If you have hunted much you have seen the guy that went hunt with his new 338 WinMag but was so afraid of the recoil he had a hard time hitting the side of the mountain. I do belong to the bigger is better club. I don't like the current trend of believing that the 6.5 CM is the proverbial bolt of lightning for use on anything up to and including monster dinosaurs. Banging steel is not the same a ethically shooting a game animal. Coyotes and deer are probably the proper game size for the 6.5 CM. As always, opinions are like a$$holes. Every has one and this is mine. [/QUOTE]
