All my elk have been shot with 160gr accubonds in 7mm RM. Ive switched to 155gr Terminal Ascents due to availability... I've heard really good things about the TA's.There’s no guaranteed blood trail on an elk, but if your bullet makes a good wound channel in the right place they’re not going to go far. I’ve had both the 168 and 180 TTSX not exit out of a .300 win mag. Both bullets did a lot of damage and neither bull made it out of sight. If I had to pick one bullet for elk for the rest of my life it would be an Accubond.
range and caliber?6.5 with Hornady 143 grain

jeez - not sure it was possible for a 6.5 creedmoor to do anything to an elk . Makes me lol when people think a 6.5 prc is a perfectly suitable elk gun but the same bullet going 200 ish fps slower will bounce off.404 yards laying down over a pack. My old man did the shooting and I did the ranging and photographing.

Best advice on this thread.Depends on where the bullet hits the animal. Low in the chest will drain the blood out rapidly. High in the chest, the lungs may be shot and the animal is dead, but until the blood flow hits the outlet hole, you won't have much blood to follow. Poke a hole in the bottom of a full bucket of water and it will empty right out, hit it at the waterline and you won't get much water to come out.

"6.5 prc is a perfectly capable 800 yard elk gun"Can’t be. This website says a creedbro can’t kill elk after 301 yards
