to further the discussion.
is my remington 6.5x55 with 140 hornady interlocks @ 2700 fps a solid bull elk cartridge?
i've never hunted elk before and was planning on using it, but i'm not sure it's enough cartridge.
It's plenty of cartridge, but not my choice of bullet for elk. Something like the 6.6x55 begs for a premium bullet on elk.
