[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 2412799, member: 54178"] "J. Dave", Many of the 6.5 rounds are NOT underpowered for elk. Ex.-> My 6.5 PRC will take a bull elk [I]within[/I] 400 yards using a 143 gr. Hornady ELD-X cartridge from my Browning X-Bolt Pro. and the 6.5 Weatherby will do the same at the least at 500 yards. As a competitive shooter (yes, 6.5 CM) who shoots to 1,100 yards I feel confident that my 6.5 PRC hunting cartridge and rifle with a Bushnell 4.5 - 18 x 44 scope with G3 small Xmas tree reticle can do the job using my range finding binoculars if I keep within an ethical 400 yards for elk. i had a Browning A-Bolt stainless .300 Wing and sold it for the 6.5PRC X-Bolt Pro. I feel I have a good round for any big game in Nevada and most of the mountain west (not including grizzly bear). Eric B. [/QUOTE]
