[QUOTE="fnlights, post: 2811589, member: 117046"] I think this is a pretty simple question that the OP can answer by asking himself if he is willing and capable to spend the money on a larger caliber (.30 Caliber)? 1. If not, then get good with your 6.5 PRC and go hunt and don't look back! 2. If you are willing and capable to get another rifle, which from reading your posts, it appears you are all for getting something bigger, then I personally think you are crazy not to get a .30 Cal. For me, it really wouldn't be a question of "will the 6.5 PRC kill an elk" - it is more a question of what caliber and rifle will give me the BEST chance at a successful harvest. If I am spending all the money and time to go on an elk hunt, especially living out of state, I personally would never go elk hunting with anything smaller than a .30 Caliber. I am not making this post to bash the 6.5 PRC by any means - it is an amazing caliber - but for me, I have done extensive research and talked to many elk guides / ranch managers and they are all in agreement that a 30 Cal is best for elk. Easy choice for me. [/QUOTE]
