[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1926711, member: 54178"] I sold my .300 Win. mag. Browning A-bolt and bought a 6.5 PRC Browning X-Bolt Pro (6 lbs. 3 oz.) mountain rifle. The 6.5 PRC is good for bull elk at 600 yards. Beyond that range it is good for deer at 800 yards and antelope out to 1,000 yards in terms of ft. lbs. of energy using, for example, 143 gr. Hornady ELD-X Precision Hunter ammo as the lowest weight bullet for all those big game animals. Remember, Swedes have been successfully taking European moose with the lower powered 6.5 x 55 Swede for over 100 years. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
