Best cartrige for long range target and also for Elk hunting.

Wouldnt it be the 65 creedmoore or are we past that humor?

Creedmo has it's own pride month now….so no, we're not past the humor.

I have been lucky enough to kill multiple elk with -
6.5 CM 140 gr Cow
7mm Rem Mag 168 gr Bulls and Cows
7 PRC 180 gr Bull
28 Nosler 195 gr Bull
300 WSM 175 gr Bulls and Cows
300 Norma Mag 230 gr Bulls
The 300 NM just puts the absolute smack down on elk. But if I could only have one rifle for long range shooting and North American big game it would be in the 7mm category with 7PRC being my choice.

I found this interesting…..and very misleading!


I opened the attachment, and found their write-up and data laughable!

Nowhere is the firearm weight mentioned……as this is a key component in felt recoil computation. The included article also stated that recoil at or above 30 ft/ lbs as "massive" recoil……again laughable. My wife's "non braked" hunting rifle is at 39 ft/lbs. felt recoil which she shoots pretty darn good…….and she ain't a linebacker in the NFL!


Perhaps for some of today's shooters…..30 ft/lbs may be considered "massive". Perhaps this "new breed" of shooters would be more at home on a golf course! memtb

Why would anyone completely mist out their elk with a 6.5 Weemoor. Use something less destructive like a 338 Lapua.
