[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 1601878, member: 11717"] If you're referring to a couple of my posts, I never said or implied that anything about this "hunting" experience was OK. If you go back and read all my posts you will see that IMO, what we have here is a lack of skill, a lack gun power, a lack of judgement and a lack of good hunting practice/ethics, the later because not only were these boys whooping it up, they did not see a need to edit out the missed shots and they made a big production out of it, like look how cool this is. So, had they used a more potent round, I am 99% certain they would have dropped that bull on the first shot. And if they had done that this thread would not even exist. We would never know how unskilled and poor of judgement they were. Hmmmm The first shot wasn't a great shot but with a more potent round it would have been a kill shot. That bull would have dropped like a rock and folks would have been saying, "WOW, Hammered!" There are folks in this thread saying, same thing would have happened with a Mag, nothing wrong with the 6.5 CM at 600 yards, etc. BS! A bigger gun would have compensated for a less than perfect shot. That said, there are those who have the knowledge, experience and skill to make that shot with the 6.5 CM. I mentioned earlier that I have a friend who has taken 4 bulls with a 243. When he tells me that, I don't even blink an eye because I know how experienced of a hunter he is. But when guys like our boys see videos like the Greybull video, they think, cool, lets go buy a 6.5 CM and shoot a 700 lb bull elk at 600 yards. Nope, nothing OK about what happened in this video including the Skyline shots. [/QUOTE]
