[QUOTE="UplandFreak, post: 1893792, member: 111854"] Edited to avoid 60 to life.......I wasn’t going to call you a liar, but now I am leaning that direction after this post. The 6.5 was a perfect lung shot and the bullet opened up like it was supposed to and you almost lost it. If that is the case, distance is irrelevant - you are just claiming that the 6.5 isnt big enough to kill an elk at any distance. This gives me cause to pause and question whether or not it was a perfect lung shot. I hear people claim they made perfect shots all the time only for the animal to run away and never be found. Also, to make a blanket statement against all 6.5’s is ridiculous. If you are taking 1000 yard shots at an elk with a creedmoor, probably not smart. 6.5 PRC, 6.5x284, 6.5 saum, 264 win mag, 26 Nosler, 6.5-300 etc. all have enough energy and velocity at 1000 yards to quickly and cleanly kill and elk with the right bullet.
