[QUOTE="kimba, post: 1027959, member: 85888"] on deer it is good as far as you can make the shot on elk, I would keep it 400 or under - though I know guys that have shot em over 700 with the 6.5. I saw the vid on utube of a 688 cow drt shot with a 243, so it can be done. Common sense says keep the 260/creed under 500 on elk - 300 better. You get zippo hydrostatic, so all about penetration - which the 6.5 has in spades in the 140 class bullet and it bucks the wind better than a 30cal at 190 grns [/QUOTE]
