Seattle-my opinion is that the people that feel that the 6.5/284 is too light, and or shouldn't be used at all then the most likely don't have much for experience in the killing of elk.
One of my bestest friends and mentors of the world a man who's killed more elk and more big elk than anyone I know. He's always said that they quickest kills he has season in and season out on elk are with his 25/06.
Dober Couldn't agree with you more, Dober. Lots of folks out there who honestly believe you can't kill an elk with anything less than a .300 mag and that a .338 mag is really the better choice. I know a few folks who have lost elk hit with a 7mm mag and decided then and there that it wasn't enough gun for elk and they went out and bought a .338 RUM or WM. Really, the only problem they ever had was hitting the poor animal in a non-vital area. I've seen what a 6.5x.284 can do to a mature bull elk, and I'm a believer. I also know folks who regularly take elk with a .25-06, and they go home every year with one nice bull and one less .25-06 cartridge than they showed up with. Although I've never personally shot an elk with the 6.5x.284, I did take a 14 7/8" speed goat with one at 397 yards up around Malta. Again, amazing performance from the round. I often wish 6.5x284 or 6.5-06 rifles were commercially available with a decent selection of factory ammo. I think I'd own one if they were.

.264 is making a lot of sexy lists, and her inferior flashy cousin the .257 Weatherby.
