[QUOTE="Longshotjames, post: 1519882, member: 91374"] SHOT PLACEMENT IS KEY! I feel if you lay it just behind the shoulder as advised above the 6.5's are fine for cow elk. However I helped clean an Cow another guy in camp shot with a 6.5CM at 100yards facing him. Bullet was a 140gr winchester (something?). He shot her in the chest, looking straight at him. She ran off. They said there was no blood trail and he decided he missed. Next morning his son stepped on her dead a few hundred yards from where he shot her. I skinned his halves back at main camp and had a difficult time finding the entrance hole. Of course there was not exit. Damage was minimal, the 140gr killed her but was just not enough gun for a shot angle like that on an animal that size. just pick your shot carefully James [/QUOTE]
