I swear you posted you weren't on Rokslide. But, you link threads? Just find it by accident? mtmuleyYes. On ranges that exceed most peoples capabilities. Be mindful of bullet selection (construction) and performance at impact velocity. I.e. dont use a tough copper bullet at extended range.
At the end of the day, youre trying to pop 2 glorified balloons and/or a a flesh blood pump. If youre in doubt - check out the rokslide forum below with moose, elk, etc dead from 223
.223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.
Somebody around Page 140 said "No cheat sheet" but I say "Yes cheat sheet" Page 1 thru 10: Lot of arguing, couple of pictures. Some urban legend type of stuff, I can see why somebody would abandon thread because it looks like it's going to be another 160 pages of memes and shitposts Page 10...rokslide.com
Don't fall victim to a dumbarse tellling you a wallet eater, shoulder smasher, ear thrasher 300 fuddlore magnum to kill elk at typical hunting ranges. You dont. People dont like 6.5 creedmoor because they want to be counter culture and its popular....
6.5 CM, 6.5 PRC Enough/Effective for Elk?

Since both cartridges were developed by hornady id recommend checking out their podcast on youtube about each of these rounds. Dave emery, creator of the 6.5 CM, is also on some of those podcasts. I dont even shoot hornady ammo but really enjoy their podcasts.

I also have a hells canyon .300 win mag with a razor HD that almost matches it. Damn thing just sits in the safe. I have a real problem.
Excuse the messy house in the background. Dang kids.

Lots of new headstamps because of folks like this. Just know its for your feelings and it really doesnt make that much difference - especially inside 400.
Ive killed 3 elk, 5 deer, 1 blackbear, 3 antelope with primarily 308. The deer that went the furthest? 300 prc with a 4" exit.
Savages just shoot. You basically never hear of anyone having one that doesnt.

Discounting my experiences by using your experience with a different caliber makes your Opinion worth something??
I promised this year I wasn’t gonna call anyone an idiot but this one tested me.

Wow. Big test. Dont take the cpa if thats a "test"
You know what the difference between a 6.5 creedmoor and 6.5 prc is? About 200 yards of distance.
Theres plenty of evidence of what im saying on the rokslide post. Theres plenty of evidence on long range hunting forum. All over the internet really.

Ok, you win. Whatever did I do before you joined. Now that I know I’m wrong on the Internet, from solely based on your opinion of Internet forums, I can finally die in peace.

I retract any previous comments about purchasing another gun. If your wifes asking - your current arsenal will bounce off your intended target.
Just go buy a modern magnum caliber 30 nosler, 300 prc, 300 norma, 338 lapua in lieu of the out of date 7mm rem
