[QUOTE="liltank, post: 498634, member: 13275"] Personally the 6.5x284 is going to be the ticket as far as an all around cartridge. If he reloads he will be able to put together some very potent loads to kill LR groundhogs to 7 or 800yd elk. If he doesn't reload than you are really limited in what you have as far as factory ammo. The other option would be the venerable .308 Winny. Good cartridge and will do all you ask of it with reasonable limitations. It won't fry barrels and you will be able to shoot varmint loads to heavy rounds for elk. With a little research you will be able to find some good 180 and 190 Target loads. Those will pack enough energy to 700yds for an elk. Tank [/QUOTE]
