I’m not sure about 6.5x55 on elk.
So, let’s talk caliber....right now, I’m thinking 6.5X55, 6.5-06, 270 Win, 280 AI, or 30’06 AI.
So what should I be thinking?
You're just fine with your 6.5x55 Sweede, or any of your other choices.
My last 5 Rocky Mountain bulls were all killed with my 6.5X284, which produces similar ballistics, from ~100 to right at 600 yards. I've used both the 140 berger hunting and the 140 AMAX, and am going to go to the 147 ELDM next. I had some bad experiences with the berger, but there's been no issues with the size of the cartridge.
