Elk 308 vs 6.5 PRC

[Weldor]

They both work great on Elk, I converted to the 6.5 a couple of years back Have'nt looked back.

My Tikka .308 loves ELD-X and Terminal Ascent factory ammo. Both have put down bulls without issue.

This, +178gr ELD-X

Just put an elk down with one shot using this 308 ammo. Took one step.

Keep the .308 and build another.

Good feedback fellas. I shall keep it in 308 configuration and put together a 7 PRC custom next year.

Did you ever switch over to the 7 PRC and if so do you like it better than the .308?

 

[Hnthrdr]

Better question did you choot an elk in Co? If so what caliber?

 

[rjb84]

That is the better question my friend.

Nope, leaning towards a 6.5 PRC this year. Got skunked on the elk.

 

[rjb84]

Man, sorry to hear that.

I grew up with a 308. But built a 6.5 PRC a few years ago. I have zero desire to ever shoot a 308 ever again.
Especially hunting the Montana prairie where shot opportunities can be a little further out.
