[QUOTE="Txcowboy50, post: 2568000, member: 118571"] Unless you just want a new rifle ( which we all of us do no matter how many we have); I would concentrate on developing an accurate load for your 6.5 PRC. With Berger 156 EOL's and RL26, H1000 and others you can get velocities of 2900+ ft/sec. That equates to 2100ft/sec and 1500 ft/lbs of energy at 650 yds which is fine for elk. Practice with what you develop since shot placement is maybe more important than caliber size. My 300 wby mag will do the job but not as fun to shoot as my 6.5 PRC. [/QUOTE]
