[QUOTE="carpetman2, post: 1176616, member: 18775"] Well, I too have limited experience with the 6.5, but I did manage to get my first elk and a deer with my new 6.5x284 using 140 VLD's this past year. The bull was a 110 yard frontal shot which lodged near the ball socket in the hind qtr (weighed in at 84gr) and a follow up shot to the neck 10 sec later putting the bull on the ground. The deer (whitetail) was a 397 yard neck shot DRT. As has already been said, right shot in the right place with a good bullet will do the job. I love my 6.5 and after shooting a 300 WM for 30 years it's a pleasure to shoot. [/QUOTE]
