[QUOTE="dk17hmr, post: 2303778, member: 21384"] As I previously stated I have 122s load for a 6.5 Magnum for this season. This will be my first time going this light but I have confidence in the setup. 550 yards is as far as I plan on shooting anyways. My normal elk rifle depends on which tag I get. I have killed several with a 208gr amax at 2900fps and a pile with 160gr bonded soft points at 2800fps. In general I like heavy for caliber although I wasn't as impressed with 300gr from my 338L as I was the 230s running as hard as I could push them. Putting a good bullet in the parts that matter will kill them. I live in elk country and have 2 or 3 tags a year so I'm willing to test different setups. If I were on a once in a lifetime hunt I'd shoot heavy and fast either a 338 or 375. [/QUOTE]
