Ya. I have a 30-06 and a 7mm Rem Mag.Problem is you really cannot kill an elk with a 6.5x284 or 6.5 PRC. You absolutely have to go 7 RM or 300 WM at least. Lots of knowledgeable self proclaimed elk killers on this forum will tell you.
You are watching Best of the West propaganda.
Dang 264 WM is starting to look like a real sweat spot to me though.
True. I just checked and Remington still chambers it in the Sendero with a 9 twist. And Winchester, of course, still makes it but it's a 9 twist too...I read a post somewhere that the 264 WM looks good, but they don't stock it with the correct twist rate barrel (???).
Probably better with custom and select twist rate for right (desired) bullet.
