[QUOTE="HunterMann, post: 2514941, member: 117098"] Plenty of elk have fallen to more moderate calibers than your 6.5PRC. With good bullets, good shooting conditions, and decent aim you can clearly get the job done with your current set up. Once you refine your probable hunting conditions and shooting distances you can better choose a cartridge to match. If you want to go bigger than 6.5, then jump up to .338/.340 big. I agree with HTJ that .338 WM is a great Elk cartridge. From Alaska to Africa it handles the larger animals very well. [/QUOTE]
