    308 norma or 6.5x284

    I have a Remington model 700 30-06 I think manufactured 1967. I am taking it in to be reworked into a 308 Norma or a 6.5x284 I am leaning towards the 308 Norma because I can buy a factory 6.5x284 now, any thoughts?

    First Elk Hunt questions

    i have hunted there 15 years the country is steep and will test you sometimes. I like horses to get where you going but I don't like to hunt off them. You could get a long shot but more than likely it won't be over a 200 yards. I have shot a lot of elk in the grey's . Horses are the only way to...

    What 300WM bullet for elk?

    I would take a look at the new nosler accubond long range in the 190 and 210 grain they are claiming minimum velocity of 1300 for expansion instead of 1800 your 300 should push them around 3000 fps which should put you around 1800 fps at a 1000 yards but you would have to load them and spend...
