6.5 for elk

[ElDudarino]

I have watched 5 bull elk die where they stood from 143 ELDx between 200-550 yards.

My wife killed a bull at 500 on the nose with one in Colorado this year.

I also think I have seen exit wounds 100% of the time. Animals don’t go far with holes in both lungs.

Energy is a non factor its impact velocity that will matter and determine if the bullet performs as needed

So are you arguing mass of the bullet doesn’t matter? I don’t understand your point. You’re arguing a 55 grain 223 bullet will take out a bull elk as long as it’s going fast enough? I’m assuming you know how to calculate kinetic energy using and mass and velocity.

Read 223 and 6mm thread before arguing these points

500 easy energy on 6 creed shorty here

I’ve never shot an elk with 6.5 but from what I understand, yes, but respect the round and its limitations for an ethical kill. I wouldn’t be doing any ELR with 6.5 creed. Within 300 yards is good, but some can go up 500+ yards and still maintain 1500ft*lbs energy especially at elevation such as in Colorado.

So 300 yards is good but 301 yards is bad?

I’d offer for you to talk to the last few elk I’ve shot at longer distances with a 6.5cm but they’re dead…

False dichotomy and strawman argument you created there bud. I also said you can ethically kill over elk 500 yards with 6.5 so not sure where you’re getting that from.
