Looking for input. I have a dream of harvesting an elk with a. 303 British Enfield, No1 Mk4 next year. I use 150 grain, and 174 grain ammunition. Love this rifle: insanely accurate, low recoil on my messed up shoulder, and never trailed a deer far. That's not elk! I plan to go to Wyoming next...

Add on: Matrix, Underwood, Hornady, and Remington Cor-lokt with Winchester as my back up, FOR ME, are my only brands. I have had casings and brass fracture with federal and had to replace 2 barrels. Once, ok but twice I'm done.

If I may please. Not to be oppositional, I would share the 25 06 with a 120 grain bullet, using a 26 inch barrel and even a 24 inch barrel, has been very well used for elk. I am a fan of the .270 as well, and there have been article written with substantive documentation that the 25 06 so...

I love the .243. I also argue for the 26-06 at longer ranges as well. Fast, flat shooting, lethal. Well placed shot, and haven't had a deer ask me what I used. The 30-06 is legendary, true. Yet these two calibers are just as deadly with lower recoil. I also use a .303 British 4-1, as well ss...

This caliber is no softie. IF you can find the ammunition, i would stick with Hornady or Remington core lokt at 117 or 120 grains. And use a 24 or 26 inch barrel. Finally, sight in at 2 inches high at 50 yards -- for most ammunition this means dead on at 275 to 300 y

What can you shoot well? What ammunition is available most? That makes the decision easier. For me, the 6.5is overrated. Ok. No hate mail. That's for me. I have used both, and at age 63, I continue to migrate back to the .270, sighted two inches high at 50 yards. Mine is then "pie plated"...

If cxp2 or 3, consider a .270 130 grain with boat tail ammo. I have bad shoulders, and use that, or a 25-06 with 117 or 120 grain load, both preferring Hornady or Remington cor-lokt. Well placed shot brings meat. The latter is the easiest on my shoulders. Another consideration for shorter...
