[QUOTE="Buster Hemlock, post: 1738392, member: 109327"] I'll start off by saying I love 6.5-284. That being said I wouldn't call it a 1000 yard elk cartridge. It "can" get it done but there are far better options. 300 win mag is probably the most popular cartridge choice for elk to that range and the bullet of choice for most would be the Berger 215 hybrid loaded with H-1000 powder. I personally would probably only run a 6.5-284 out to around 600 on elk, but if I was going for elk the 6.5 would be staying home and I would be bringing one of my 300 win mag's, 340 Weatherby or 338 lapua. If your set on running the 6.5-284 especially at longer ranges definitely consider stepping up to the 156 Berger's. That's my take. [/QUOTE]
