6.5 PRC for elk? If so how far?

In my view not an elk cartridge for all round elk hunting. Timber, odd angles, etc will be problematic. Works fine on standing still broadside if you have time.
 
In my opinion, the 6.5 PRC is a great deer and Antelope caliber, but a little light for Elk. It does kill Elk, but 300yds would be the max for me in good weather. With Elk, bigger is better.
 
If Ron FREAKING Spomer tells me I need more KNOCKDOWN POWER™ to kill an elk, who am I to disagree?

Now if you'll excuse me I need to get back to posting in other threads informing people on when their bullet drops below 1500 ft/lbs energy and can no longer penetrate the reinforced skin of an elk.
