[QUOTE="SupressYourself, post: 264855, member: 340"] Barnes 127 LRX would be my choice. That big front shoulder is not going to stop it. It doesn't have the BC of sleeker jacked bullets, but that isn't going to matter within the range that the 6.5 CM is effective on elk anyway. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] Use the Hornady calculator: [FONT=Verdana,Arial,Tahoma,Calibri,Geneva,sans-serif][URL]https://www.hornady.com/team-hornady/ballistic-calculators/#!/standard[/URL] Just plug in the velocity, bullet weight, and BC, and hit calculate. One of the outputs is energy in FT#s. [/FONT] [/QUOTE]
