[QUOTE="arch408, post: 2068501, member: 59036"] There are a lot of opinions stated here, and I have many of the calibers listed in this thread. I have four 6.5 calibers and my 6.5 RemMag is one deer killing S.O.B., but I'd take my .26 Nosler for elk. My Creedmoor, I'd rank below my RemMag and I'd use the Grendal in a pinch for deer. My .300 and 338 RUMs and .338WM are way too much to be considered for everything. I'd rank my .243w with the 6.5CM. The .26 Nosler, 7mm RM, .257 Roberts, 8mm-06, .30 Gibbs, .300 SAUM, 280AI, .350 RemMag, 35 Whelen, and 25-06AI .45-70, and 40-65 are candidates. I'm sure I could kill an elk with my .17 Rem, 32-20, .204 Ruger, .22 hornet, .223, .22 Valkyre, .220 Swift, or 22-250 if I had to. But what stands out is the good old 30-06. I can shoot bullets 100 to 220 grain factory bullets and lighter if want to try some .311s. I cast bullets for my .30 Carbine that I can use, loaded down for potting rabbits or grouse. I also cast 176 and 190 grain bullets that duplicate the good old 30-30W which has killed many elk. Also if you need a heavy solid, in a pinch, you can seat a 220 gr. round nose backwards.
