Was elk hunting a couple weeks ago with some friends, and one used a 6.5 Creedmoor. He didn't get to unlimber it at long range, instead killing a good 6x7 bull in the timber at 40 yards, with one 140-grain Accubond through the lungs. The bull trotted a little way, then fell over dead--and believe it or not, the bullet exited.
A more common elk killing range than 400 yds, for sure..........
