[QUOTE="aushunter1, post: 1868133, member: 57533"] Do you know the energy required for a clean effective kill at 1200yrds? Its a lot different to hitting steel!! I know a lot of you guys one here are well versed in this sort of thing as far as knowing the knock down power at those distances but an Elk if a pretty big animal & I my thoughts are something that would retain a lot of energy like .338 Lapua? I wouldn't even entertain the idea of a 6.5 doing the job at that distance, most of them excluding say the 6.5x284 are nearing the subsonic realm about then. [/QUOTE]
