When its way out there the 6.5 just doesnt have the mass and momenteum i desire. Ive used the 240gr SMK and yes its wicked. It kills a long way out there. Same with the big 338 and 375 cal boomers. Even at the 1 mile range the amount of damage on an elk size animal is very impressive.
The 240 SMK & the 300 SMK do a tremendous amount of damage on game
Darrel Cassell killed a bull elk at 2100 yards with the 338-416 shooting the 300 grain SMK the bullet went through both shoulders and exited with a tennis ball sized exit hole
