Lol.... ok.

You do realize that the 6.5 Creedmoor will out perform the 308 at 600yds right?

Maybe read up on some ballistic charts and cross reference with Hornady bullet performance specs for maximum and minimum velocity and kenetic energy specs. The biggest limiting factor of shooting an elk at 600yds is the marksman, not the rifle. It doesn't matter if you're shooting ab6.5 Creedmoor or a 300 magnum, both will have the energy and speed to kill at that range provided you hit where you aim.
