[QUOTE="necktweaker, post: 1586243, member: 109024"] I was originally thinking .308 since the ammo is cheap and this will be my first foray into long range. Then I started looking at 6.5 Creedmoor due to less deflection from wind and the lower recoil. If 6.5 Creedmoor or .308 aren’t sufficient for long range elk, then I just won’t hunt elk at long ranges. I really just wanted a good entry cartridge to learn with. The lower recoil would mainly be nice so that my kids could shoot it when they are a little older. I guess I have more research to do :-) [/QUOTE]
