My wife also shoots a 6.5 prc her cow elk took one in the lung and just keep walking 90 yards later the second shot spines her and dropped her where she was . So after 2 elk down thay work but be prepared for follow up shots . I don’t like chasing wounded game and heaven forbid loosing one . I will stick to my old reliable dirt nap tested 300 wm . I believe Elk are way to tough and stubborn .The bull I shot 4 years ago was missing half his heart and managed to go 200 +yards there will to live can surprise you sometimes .

What kind of bullets are you hunting with in the 6.5?
