I have access to rifles chambered for larger cartridges but I really don' t want to be inconvenienced by a rifle that moves when I pull the trigger as I may develop a flinch that could interfere with my target shooting. Even though I am a novice at hunting elk I am sure my 6mm is a great elk round because I like that cartridge a lot. I am sure I can snipe the left ventricle right out of gentle, cooperative elk at ranges up to 250 yards. And with a good rest, I can even, uh....
