6.5 elk bullet poll!

[OG-danimal]

Going with the 125 hammer HHT. Accurate, fast, easy to reload, good penetration, pokes a big hole, and expand down to 1600fps. What’s not to like

6.5 Creedmoor for Elk.............. CRINGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How many elk have you killed with a 6.5 ?

 

[VO2Max]

The .264wm didn’t like them
&
didnt do well on nilgai, pedals came off and then it ver off 70* and lodged under skin behind the vitals, still killed with the peddles wit a 200yard death run

The petals are designed to come off and to broaden the wound channel as the shank continues forward doing the penetrating.

Vortex has a nice video of how the 6.5CM out preforms the .308. It's on you tube.

I bet if she used a 30 cal that bull would have twice as many points.

That’s right I forgot you can’t shoot big elk without using a .30 cal

 

[6mm Remington]

6.5 PRC
120 gr. Nosler E-tip (B.C. .497)
125 gr. Nosler Partition (B.C. .449)
130 gr. Nosler Accubond (B.C. .488)
140 gr. Nosler Accubond (B.C. .508)
140 gr. Nosler Partition (B.C. .490)

ANY of these would work very well for you! Each will penetrate and expand very well.

 

[6mm Remington]

Here's my son with his first elk taken with his 6mm Remington using a 90 gr. Nosler E-tip. One shot at 350 yards. The bullet hit tight behind the right shoulder and exited out the cetner of the left shoulder. By the damage found the bullet expanded nicely and did plenty of damage. The cow staggered about 20 yards and went down.
