[QUOTE="Ace Quackhunter, post: 1913191, member: 112792"] What you say is very true. I shoot a 6.5 X 284 but only in matches. Elk hunting I use my 264 Mag. throwing 160 Matrix out the tube good for 400 yards or a little better. Deer / Pronghorn I prefer the 6.5 X 55 loaded with 140 Partitions running at 2650 FPS and has proven to be a solid combination. Bring both rifles with you on your hunt, but use the one that you can shoot the best. I feel shot placement is much more important than horse power and a bullet through both lungs will work ever time. To date my longest shot has been a little over 225 yards so I always try to get close as possible. Let everyone know how you hunt turns out, post some photo's, I will be near Mt Taylor this fall looking for Elk and I hope I have some luck. Ace [/QUOTE]
