[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1528945, member: 7999"] We sell a lot of .264 cal bullets, and I am sure it is due to the popularity of the 6.5 Creed. I think people just need to realize that there is no magic in the caliber or the cartridge. The 6.5 Creed is what it is, a small caliber, small cartridge chambering. It is a bit of a step up from a .243 win and a bit of a step down from a 7-08. Keep your impact vel up and select a bullet that can penetrate deep with proper deformation. In these small chamberings it is a much more critical bullet choice. On elk you need to be selective about shot placement. Shot placement should be looked at like you would if archery hunting. No hard quartering shots and try to avoid the shoulder. [/QUOTE]
