[QUOTE="steffen707, post: 2084855, member: 116853"] that's kinda what i was thinking, but wanted to see if there was more of a consensus. I'm not looking to take an elk with a 6mm or 6.5mm, but i'm thinking if O'connor would do it with a normal 270, a 270wsm, .277 FURY or 6.8 Western may be the answer for me. I was originally thinking 30-06, tons of choices in ammo and under 250-300 yards it's great, but for 300-500 yards it starts being affected by wind a lot more. This is also going to be my white-tail, pronghorn, ect. rifle. I'm thinking I wouldn't be shooting more than 300yards on elk, but more so with deer, but I really don't know. What a rabbit hole.
