Super cool that @Cliff Gray has special guests on ….

I get that no one gets used to recoil, but I can’t imagine being lucky enough to draw an elk tag and not taking something like a 7mm PRC or 300 PR . . . with big time terminal performance. Not sure about the bullet, but I wouldn’t take something smaller.

I can imagine shooting them with a .223… but has to be at least a 6mm in Co so that’s what I’ll use for my rifle this year, if i can get an archery tag

You don't have to imagine it, people do it every year.

If you can’t handle the recoil of anything larger than a .223, then you need a new hobby…

what if I prefer the recoil of .223? Still need a new hobby or nah?

Not much point. But...

Like noted above, if you are girly man enough not to be able to handle the recoil from anything more than a 223, IMO you have no business hunting.

Full Disclosure: I hunt with a variety of rifles, including 300 Weatherby Magnums, 300 Holland & Hollands, down through the 270, 25-06 etc etc.
I can easily handle the recoil from each. I am not a huge man, weighing in at 185 and standing just shy of 6 feet.
And while I do own a couple 223's, the idea of taking any large game with them is beyond ludicrous to me. Shoot the proper and effective cartridge for the game being taken. Period.

I do not care what the fools in the offered video present. There is no way in hell I would ever consider taking an elk with such a diminutive cartridge. And any that support that theory needs to shake their head - violently that is.

Damn, you're a real man's man. So your 10 round group sizes stay the same with the 25-06 as with the 300 WM or 300 H&H?
