[QUOTE="Buddro, post: 1942056, member: 108148"] Without considering actions I would suggest you go 7 or .280. You can always set them up to shoot heavies and dial them back until you want a little extra oomph. However you should probably consider how you want this rifle set up and choose the cartridge to fit the gun not the other way around. If you are gunna go with a long action and a heavier gun go with a 7 or .280, They will inherently feed better likely fit more cartridges in the mag and can always be dialed down for 80% of your hunting and run hotter when you want a little more for that elk. For that matter if you are gunna run long action dig up a long narrow 6.5 cartridge that matches the prc ballistically and have the extra weight in the action to mitigate recoil while keeping the feeding and magazine benefits of the long narrow cartridge On the other hand if you want to use a short action run the prc. Gain the extra stiffness in the action, a good gunsmith may have to work a little harder but will still make it feed well. You can run a little longer barrel with out extending the overall length of the gun, or keep it a short and light. [/QUOTE]
