[QUOTE="djm670, post: 1662444, member: 36341"] That is the way I would go. a 6.5x284 or a 6.5 PRC Minimize recoil but still have enough muscle for Elk at 600 yards. Can shoot more frequently due to economics and also you don't beat your shoulder up. But I am a minimalist... And the largest bolt gun I have is a .30-06 and most of the elk I have shot have been done in with a .25-06. But I am thinking I should have a 6.5 PRC. Do have a .45-70 1886 winchester but with open sights, not something I would use for longer range Elk. Of course I probably wouldn't use my .25-06 on one much farther than 400 yards either. Growing up with Elk in the hay meadow across from the house probaby gives one a different perspective on what caliber/cartridge works. A 6.5 PRC would let one shoot a little farther witrh the necessary engergy. [/QUOTE]
