I have a video on my phone of a bull being shot at 550yds 8 times with a 6.5prc at 143ELDX. All great shots but the bull just keeps standing.What's the reason you think that is the minimum? Have you seen animals shot it the right spot with the small diameter bullets being discussed and not die?
I shot a bull with a 127LRX out of my 260 REM 4 times less than 200yds all great shots.
Both bulls are dead but I won’t use anything less than a 7mm for elk and I use the 1500lb rule as a distance limit. I just know that when you put a 30cal bullet with 1500lbs of energy with a good solid core bullet into an elk it’s going to be a lot more effective than a 6.5 or smaller going really fast.
To each their own but when talking elk I don’t know why everyone wants to bring a knife to a gun fight.
