[QUOTE="tobnpr, post: 2107929, member: 68758"] ^^^ Yep. Or, the 6.5 x .284 Norma. I know the P17 is well-suited to the '06 case, but no knowledge beyond that as to what will feed reliably from the magazine so I'd pay careful attention to case and overall length as well as diameter. Since you mentioned "long range" elk- consider your max range, and desired energy when making your decision. The actions are strong enough to handle whatever you want to throw at it. Others with more knowledge can confirm or tell me I'm wrong, but I [I]think [/I]you could swap in a P14 bolt and go with a magnum casehead chambering as well if additional energy is needed. Good luck with it. [/QUOTE]
