[QUOTE="landonm, post: 1738786, member: 101761"] The 6.5x284 is a great round. If it's what you're comfortable with and confident in, take it! Should do the trick for 1,000 and under. A 7mm (7 Rem Mag, 7LRM, 28 Nosler, etc.) may be a more [I]ideal[/I] elk round, but for the occasional elk hunt, I wouldn't hesitate one bit. Elk are tough critters to knock down sometimes, but not tough to kill. There is no magic bullet. I've seen a bull absorb multiple rounds right to the boiler room with a large 300 or 338 before going down and I've also seen them drop in their tracks with a single 6mm bullet. Make a good shot and keep shooting until they're down. [/QUOTE]
