[QUOTE="Patton243, post: 1936018, member: 97417"] 280 gets my vote. I have one and Peterson makes brass for it now too. I use my 280 from Groundhogs up to White Tail Deer. And the 7mm will be a better bullet for Elk over a 6.5 in your case. Also, the 280 is going to get more mileage out of the barrel than the 6.5x284. The 6.5 is a great cartridge, but I think the 280 is better for what you want to do. [/QUOTE]
