[QUOTE="Westernhuntr, post: 1890591, member: 112648"] Since you're new to hand loading I'd avoid wildcats The 6.5 PRC is a good choice if you're not shooting elk beyond 4-500 yards, otherwise the 300 PRC is awesome for big stuff and if you're worried about meat damage that'll be determined a lot more by your bullet choice. Shoot thin jacketed target bullets and you'll have a lead contaminated mess if you hit anywhere near usable meat . Since you're in CA you have to use copper bullets and there are plenty of good ones. Cutting Edge, Hammer Bullets, Barnes LRX to name a few. [/QUOTE]
