[QUOTE="BEEMAN, post: 1331035, member: 38130"] I like the low recoil of 6.5's. But because you said lots of practice and getting proficient out to 700 yds. Maybe a 308 is what you need. You can practice all you want and the barrel will last many rounds. Recoil isn't bad and some guys are having incredible luck shooting the heavies out of there 308. If not then I would go with a 6.5X47, 260, or Creed and keep shots on elk under 400 yds. [/QUOTE]
