[QUOTE="iiiNelson, post: 2778747, member: 113766"] Depending on where you live or plan to hunt, 6.5 may not be be elk legal. Many states implement a 27 caliber minimum so I would start at 270 Win if you’re concerned about recoil or a 6.8 western at a minimum (though it limits rifle choices). Other reasonable choices are 7 PRC, 7 Rem Mag, 30-06, 300 Win Mag, 300 PRC, etc. I would personally maybe focus on maybe a magnum in 7mm or 30 caliber if you’re going to keep your 6.5 CM as you could still use it for smaller game and have a dedicated elk rifle.
