[QUOTE="Brad Quarnberg, post: 2868205, member: 107866"] Is the 6.5 PRC enough gun for elk: depends on a bunch of factors, shot placement, bullet performance, and staying within the appropriate distance for the energy/expansion of the bullet are top in my book. I own a 6.5 PRC, but personally won't go after an elk with it because when it comes to elk, I prefer a 30 cal or bigger. I've shot several with the 270 WSM and with the 300WSM. That difference is bullet diameter, energy and weight just seem to put them down hard. If you hunt in an crowded area (with hunters), the last thing you want to have on your hands is a fight over a nice bull you shot first, that ran in front of another hunter who shot at it (maybe or maybe didn't hit it) and is now claiming it. My 300WSM is my go-to for elk every time I draw a tag. [/QUOTE]
