[QUOTE="Draftmule, post: 1521221, member: 108074"] JS ~ In an attempt to address your specific goals of light weight for Elk, 400 yards, low recoil, Short action and a caliber that is on your list you might consider the boring but often over looked 270WSM. As a 300 rum / Accubond guy I certainly do relate to your quest. As we pursue game further and further back the weight issue is high on many of our lists. With that said too light is risky for consistent shot placement. A build with a premium long range or tactical heavier stock combined with the short action would be great. The 30 WSM might be better but the 270WSM is just a sweet push. Take the time to look over the ballistics of that little cartridge with 150s. Easy to load up and great availability of off the self Elk ammo. [/QUOTE]
