[QUOTE="Jerry M, post: 1361127, member: 6330"] I would not use 6.5 grendel in a place like the mountains of Montana where Elk, Mule and White Tail Deer and Black Bear and on the license and Grizzly Bears, Cougars, and Wolves can be found. I want something with a lot more horsepower. The only Elk killed between two camps of 11 hunters when I was there was at 450+- yards across a draw. Guy used the guides 338 RUM and anchored the Bull with one shot. It was however not a 'lightweight' rifle but a standard sporter with a muzzle break the guide uses as a loaner. Another hunter showed up with a .25-06 and a .260 Rem and the guide convinced him also to use a loaner rifle as he felt both of these were too light for Elk at the ranges where they were being seen. Good luck Jerry [/QUOTE]
