[QUOTE="Scot E, post: 661328, member: 10832"] There are quite a few options that will work for your deer hunting scenario like the 6.5x55 (this would be my choice), 260 Rem, 6.5x47. But adding to it the elk scenario and IMO you need to go with one of the big 6.5's. I get a little squeamish with elk and small calibers in general, not saying they can't do it but just that you are increasing your odds significantly if things go wrong to have a lost animal. So maybe look at the 6.5-284 and up in the power department and stick with the heavy for caliber bullets. Scot E. [/QUOTE]
