I would have recommended building a 6.5 saum because it beats the 270wsm in Ballistics and recoil and the 7wsm in recoil. But the OP said he was unsure of 6.5's for elk and it still has the problem of brass availability. If he had a standard bolt Face I would recommend going with the 6.5-284...[/QUOTE]
