[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 2187151, member: 68875"] I agree with the LA standard bolt face recommendations of a 6.5-.284 Norma or .280AI. Maybe a 6.5-06AI if you don't need headstamped brass and don't mind forming a wildcat. A fast 1:7.5" twist 6.5mm will run up to a 156, which is plenty for elk, and you can load up some 130s at blistering speeds for pronghorn, or a 140-147 for everything between. A .280AI pushing a 160-180 will smoke anything in NA, but might be a little light for the big bears. We have taken deer and elk with mine with authority. [/QUOTE]
