[QUOTE="luke, post: 1032050, member: 15102"] I just got home from an elk hunt in which 2 of the 3 elk taken were with my 6.5-284. One was at 560 yards it was a one shot kill. It was hit right at the crease of the shoulder slipped between the ribs.before the hunter could rack the bolt and get back one her she was down:). The other elk was shot at 586 yards. Hit in the same place as the other elk right at the crease. When this hunter got back on the elk she was still on her feet so a second shot was taken hitting about 2 inches farther back than the first shot. She crumpled imediately from that shot. The bullets used were berger 140gr hunting vld's at 2955fps. Hope this is helpful. [/QUOTE]
