[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 648799, member: 10291"] I have read your posts before on your experiences with the 6.5. There are few people that shoot that many elk with a given caliber. While I use heavier calibers myself, I consider your record pretty good and actually does more to convince me of the effectiveness of the 6,5 than not. Loosing one bull at more than 1000 yards and not being certain of the hit is a pretty good record given the wound damage you observed with the first 25 was sufficient. I assume it was or you would likely have changed sooner. I have seen elk and deer get away with what appeared to be good shots with larger calibers. It does happen. If my 6.5 was the only rifle I had, I don't think I would have any problem using it for elk, particularly since it's the most accurate rifle I own and would have complete confidence in shot placement, but would keep my range under 700 yards or so. IMHO. [/QUOTE]
