Help me choose a caliber

[B23]

Don't think you could go wrong with a 6.5 PRC, 7 PRC, or 300 WSM. If recoil is of any concern to you the 6.5 PRC will be the better choice and that Hornady 147 ELD-M ammo shoots really well in just about all 6.5 PRC's.

7mm-08 or 280 Rem

If I had to pick 1 to hunt everything anywhere in the world(I doubt I'll ever hunt moose or big bears) I'd choose a 300 win mag or 300 wsm. I have been killing deer and pigs for the last few years with a 6.5 creedmoor and been very pleased. 6.5 prc seems to be a great cartridge as well that I've been eyeballing recently. Hell I could legitimately get a 7mm-08 or 308 and hunt from now on and doubt I'd have any problem.

6.5 Creedmoor or .270 Win.

I want it to be elk capable for 600-650 yards.

This has nothing to do with caliber and everything to do with you.
