[QUOTE="ATH, post: 1527546, member: 1656"] Awful thread in many ways. I get it, it's a youth, but a 6.5 is marginal to begin with, and put marginal in the hands of a youth with lack of experience and you get a shoulder shot with an inadequate round. Would have been better to a) give them an adequate round with a brake, or b) pass the shot and get closer with the gear in hand. Elk are tough. I personally have put 4 rounds of 200AB out of a 300WM through the lungs at 600 yards and had the bull shake it off and stay on his feet for 4-5 minutes until keeling over. But I didn't shoot the shoulder, and such a load would clearly bust the shoulder better than a 6.5. I really encourage using larger diameter rounds on elk. [/QUOTE]
