[QUOTE="rootacres, post: 2037321, member: 116348"] 7mm WSM I recently found myself in the same situation you are. I don't own a stable of rifles, being from the midwest we are limited on what we can hunt with. After a couple hunts out west I sold my 300 WSM and built a 7mm WSM. I had no issues taking a bull elk at 325 yards this year and allows me some versatility on bullets. I can run a slightly heavier high BC bullet for elk, and Im looking at a lower weight, flat shooting option for a coues hunt im hopefully going on next year. Your 6.5 PRC is a great option for deer and antelope. If elk end up on the menu many would suggest a 30 of some kind or at the least a 7mm. Thinking outside the box . . . . . 300 PRC You already have a bunch of 6.5's and a 7mm mag wouldn't be that big of a step up compared to a 6.5x55, 6.5 PRC, or 6.5x284. So you could jump into a 30 cal option that is designed to run heavy, high BC bullets. It may just surprise you how well they handle the wind and how hard they hit. Just a thought. [/QUOTE]
