[QUOTE="JASmith, post: 1869343, member: 24844"] The 6.5 has a seriously strong reputation as an elk harvester, particularly in Northern Europe. Further, one can go to 100 - 120 grain all-copper expanding bullets that will further reduce recoil -- an important consideration in building good shooting habits for young shooters. (Also curing bad habits in us older shooters crazed with heavy, large caliber magnumitis -- been there, done that!) For a youth elk cartridge, the Creedmoor is truly hard to beat, especially for the reloader. For a cartridge that will work well on all North American game within a few hundred yards, the 6.5 Grendel is excellent. Recoil is in the .243 class, and will harvest elk within the range where bullets expand reliably. [/QUOTE]
