I would look at the 260 Rem in a short action or a 6.5 x 55 Swedish mauser or 6.5-06 in a long action. You can do the swede in a short action but ive heard you can get a bit more out of them in a long action. I went with the 6.5-06 to get a little more umph so i would feel a little better if an elk presented itself. And brass is easily made and easy to find (270win brass necked down). I dont have alot of experience in building rifles but my research led me to the 06. enjoy the build!
