"None of the shots I was presented on that day were ideal, yet the little 6.5 x 55 got it done. I might not choose the 6.5 if the task was ass shooting elk, but I choose to not ass shoot elk.
I think far more elk are wounded and lost due to poor ethics, bad choices, and a lack of ability then to insufficient cartridges. As others have mentioned, putting the proper bullet in the proper location is key. I also believe that far more "bullet failures" are a result of bad shooting over shoddy bullet construction."
Pretty much says it all right there!
