[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 441741, member: 2736"] Probably the 280 REM because of the choice of 7 mm bullets, case capacity (30/06 necked down to .284) and ease of loading and available Ammo. It can be loaded down to very mild recoil with lighter bullets and it can be loaded up with heaver bullets for large Elk size game. In a 7.5 pound rifle it doesn't need a muzzle break for those that don't like hunting with ear protection. The 7/08 Is one of my favorites but range is less than 500 yards on Elk, but deer size game are no problem past 600 yards. The 7 WSM is another good choice in a 7 to 8 pound rifle, recoil is brisk but not brutal without a break. If it appears that I like 7 mm you are right but I also like the big stuff 300 RUMs through 416s but they are a different beast. These 7mm cartriges seem to be about the optimum for energy without a lot of recoil and muzzle blast. There are other good choices but these should give you some ideas of the class of cartriges that will fit your requirements. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
