Poll - One all around single cartridge under conditions

I’ve only shot the 7mm08 and it impressed me. Being that you reload you can take advantage of heavier bullets if desired vs the 6.5 mm options while keeping recoil under your threshold.

@USAF Ret i have been using my 6.5 prc the last 2 years. It’s fantastic. I’ve shot a bull elk, cow elk, mule deer, antelope, and whitetail with it. I shoot Barnes LRX ammo (127gr) and it’s been great. I also shoot with a silencer so recoil is nothing. Can’t recommend the 6.5 prc enough.

I just sold mine. I am regretting some, but it went to a good home.

I am holding on the the 7-08, 6.5CM, and the 280 AI. I am going to play around with some different monolithic handloads to see what comes up the best for performance, accuracy, and recoil.

Got a message and looking like the ID elk, maybe mule deer, is going to be a go for 2026.

Happy Thanksgiving all.
