[QUOTE="Matno, post: 1521283, member: 44765"] For lightweight and light recoil, it will be hard to beat the 6.5 Creedmoor (or one of it's ballistic twins). Plenty of power for elk well beyond 400 yards. The 6.5 PRC will increase your range but it's definitely more than you need for under 400 yards, plus it will kick more and have a shorter barrel life. One of the guys on LRSU recently took a nice bull at 1550 yards with the Creedmoor. That's definitely pushing it, but it to 7 or 800 yards, it's got reliable energy and better sectional density than most 30 cal bullets. [/QUOTE]
