[QUOTE="kgarrett, post: 2828123, member: 123496"] Yes, 6.5 PRC is adequate for elk. Similar diameter, bullet weights, velocity, energy, etc as 270 which has taken MANY elk over the years. However, there are many who would recommend heavy for caliber or controlled expansion bullets for elk in something at the lower end of appropriate elk cartridges and consider 30 cal magnums ideal. I’m convinced by their arguments. OTOH, shot placement trumps everything. A well placed shot, with adequate penetration, followed by expansion/destruction of vital tissue in any adequate cartridge will do the job. As far as your wife, I completely agree that you need a new rifle in 7 or 300 prc and am happy to back you up on that. I bought one and am awaiting its arrival. PM me if you need my contact info 😂😂😂 [/QUOTE]
