Best calibers for western hunting old and new using factory ammo

[rockymtnsam]

7 PRC would be a great all around round for western game, but personally for me the recoil is a bit much for a lighter weight mountain gun for me without a brake. It also depends what you are going to be hunting the most. If you’re hunting elk most the time a 6.8 or 7mm or probably best but I have shot my last three elk with my 6.5 PRC and it has done the job well.

What bullet are you using in the 6.5?

What bullet are you using in the 6.5?

147 eld-m but I really want to shoot the Berger 156s
