I may have a chance for my first elk hunt in the fall. What are the thoughts of some experienced elk hunters with regards to the 6.5X55 for elk?
The 6.5 will do,but when I read that you may have a chance for your first elk hunt. It sounds like you are not going to be able to do this frequently. You would be better served with the 300 WSM that you have mentioned. It would be bad to go home without only because you did not have enough confidence in your gun. And the fact that you asked about it tells me you have some doubt. USE ENOUGH GUN
