[QUOTE="Tracer, post: 205969, member: 5742"] Mongoose I personally believe that the 6.5 is a bit light up front for taking on mature bull elk! I also think, that a distance of 200 yards would present a more satisfactory result, as elk don't just fall over dead when struck by your bullet. Now over the last several decades, I have hunted elk in several states and used several calibers. Those being a 25-06, 270 Winchester (simply to light really), 7mm Rem mag, 300 Win mag, 338/06, 338 Win mag and even the .375H&H. I preferr to hunt those bull elk with a .338 Win mag and 225 grain bullet or my backup rifle, that being a .338/06 with 210 grain bullet. Those mature bull elk are very tough animals to put down and I have never put one down on the first shot and had it drop in it's tracks, never. [/QUOTE]
