[QUOTE="Westernhuntr, post: 1891567, member: 112648"] I've also killed 4 bulls with my 6.5 saum and compared to bigger bullets packing more energy there's a noticable difference in how quickly an elk will die at longer ranges. Based on my kills with a 6.5 I personally feel it's best to keep it inside 600 yards on elk. You definitely weren't there but way to call me a liar. I thought I'd made a bad hit when the bull ran off, my buddy and I tracked him for a Long time and finally found him bedded down alive approx 45 minutes later. He was hit center lungs right behind the shoulder, the bullet opened up and seperated from it's jacket like non bonded bullets do and penetrated both lungs. There was very little damage to the lungs aside from the hole created from the bullet. I don't know what to tell you if you don't believe that, but there was definitely a lack of energy at impact given how intact the lungs looked [/QUOTE]
