[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1592344, member: 74902"] If it's a one time elk hunt and then deer inside 300 yards for the foreseeable future. AND you don't want to reload. I would go with the 6.5 PRC and keep the shots within 600 yards. Personally, I would go with a Savage Long Range Hunter and put the most money in a good scope and plenty of ammo to practice, practice, practice, and practice some more with. The Hornady ammo will be plenty accurate for that distance and probably the most cost effective you can buy. It is important though that you know where you will be hunting and what shot opportunities it will bring. Then pick the cartridge based on that. [/QUOTE]
