Lmao you make assumptions that i hunt out of sxs lmao. All you do is make assumptions. Has goal posts moved? 6.5 started off as not a elk hunting gun its still not. Can it kill a elk sure 2-300 is its max affective range outside that your taking a chance. Can it kill 600 yards sure. Every scenario everytime much more difficult. Bigger guns help in bad scenarios period you can try arguing it but you are wrong. Ive hunted wyoming its flat compared to hells canyon. Shouldnt talk **** to someone that probably goes into worse terrain to hunt. Why i shoot a lapua big canyons. 6.5 couldnt hang
