[QUOTE="cowboy, post: 1029714, member: 8833"] I think bigngreen's comments are very valid. I have seen 3 elk killed in the last 2 seasons with the 6.5X284 using the Berger 140 gr bullets so I don't have "lot's" of experience. If I was to build a dedicated rifle for using on elk - the 6.5X284 would not be my first choice but it will more than do the job if the nut behind the bolt does his. Hell - I know an old timer that shot more elk with a .243 than most people on this forum have seen. The 6.5X284 is one heck of a deer/antelope type cartridge and is very adequate on elk in the right hands. Use the right bullet for the application - place it in the correct location and you have a very dead elk (But then that's true with any caliber I guess). [/QUOTE]
