[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1526702, member: 13632"] There seems to be a LOT of guys who have not killed many if any in this thread, I've shot more elk with a 6.5 than I'm betting most in this thread have seen and there is no way your shooting through the heavier part of an elk shoulder with any bullet available in a 6.5 with any consistency. I'll say the same for a 270, 7mm and most 30 cals even, the heaviest 30 cals above 200 grs you will start to see enough consistency that I'll take a shoulder shot first shot with them if needed but below that your running a significant risk of the bullet stopping or deflecting, regardless of construction!! For those in this thread who haven't shot elk and are tempted to compare what you've done on deer to elk a heavy bodied whitetail buck won't have the bone structure of even a calf elk. [/QUOTE]
