[QUOTE="vancewalker007, post: 1873656, member: 66917"] If most of your hunting shots on deer are under 400-500 yards, then you can do it all with a Creedmore or a 260 Rem, or any other "quote" standard cartridge. And then keep any shots on elk to 250-300 yards. If most of your shots are going to extend past 500 yards, or you want to extend your effective range, then I'd go for more power the PRC has. My 26in Proof barrelled 6.5 PRC is producing 3040fps (checked to 1000 yards) with the Berger 156 EOL. Per my ballistic calculator that's 1900+ fps at 1000 yards at my common hunting altitudes. I built it to replace my heavy 7mm LRM Long Range hunting rifle. Same zoom less boom. Both of these rifles are tuned up for Coues deer hunting, which tends to require longer shots than most deer hunting. [/QUOTE]
