[QUOTE="Kurtr, post: 124743, member: 194"] So your saying my 6.5 creedmoor shooting the 143 eldx carrying 1600 ft lbs of energy at 400 and damn near 1000 out to 800 is to small for elk. If I have time I will have to compare it ti the 270 guessing I will be less than impressed. The 270 win is an average at best round especially with factory ammo but gun rags have convinced other wise. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] I am not a tsx pimp but small and fast copper bullets shot high shoulder have never failed or allowed a step forward on any of the critters I have seen killed. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] Another deep dive most dont like to look at is the sectional density of a bullet. [/QUOTE]
