Based on what?I love my 6.5 PRC but I think it is marginal for elk and moose.

Incompetence…Based on what?
Ok got it. My choice from the selection would be 300WSM. Wide range of bullet options.I think the 6.8 Western is a great round. I think Winchester has done a terrible job marketing it. They problem I have is the rifle is not in that caliber. That would actually be a logical compromise. Not as snappy as the 7 PRC but not a small as the 6.5 PRC. I dont quite understand my hang up on it for elk. I kill most of my elk with a bow. If a bow can do it a 6.5 can.
I had a bad experience once with a guy that had a 6.5 Creedmoor. It was a Sheep hunt and I was with my buddy and he took a nice ram. This guy had a ewe tag. In hindsight I think it was the bullets but I watched this guy put round after round in a ewe he had anchored with the first shot. He reloaded. I dont know how many actually hit after the first shot. Maybe he was excited and was just missing the rest I do not know. That made me leery of the 6.5 a little. Completely not rational as I have dropped a nice muley at range with my 6.5 PRC. He just dropped. I know the round is basically a 270. I am really torn between the 6.5 and the 7. The 6.5 PRC is a dream to shoot. Maybe I am trying to talk myself out of the 6.5 I do not know.
The value in the .223 thread is not “you should really use .223 for everything”I will never use a 223 on anything larger than deer. I know there is a massive thread about that. Not for me. The 6mm is not an option in that rifle 6.5 is but which one. The whole 223 thing for large game, sorry I am going back to Alaska and I will not carry a 223.
I did miss that. Nothing wrong with the PRC if someone likes it.7mm RM isn't a choice chambering in the rifle he is purchasing. 7prc is.
My lightest rifle is a 308 and recoil is not a problem. Even Less so with a silencer on it.I’ll say 308. I don’t think the recoil would be a problem. Should be a good choice of bullets.
