Lot's of new stuff out there. Been looking. Something that has good knockdown power (elk size), flat shooter (maximum point blank out to 400) and recoil that is manageable. 6.5 PRC has caught my eye and seems to be offered in most rifles now.
Sold a shotgun, so I have about $900 to spend.
What do you think?

The 6.5 PRC is definitely a legitimate long range hunting cartridge. It is easy to find pet loads and will definitely perform on game. I am personally a 6 5 x 284 Norma fan, but it and the PRC are close. If I didn't already own a mountain of 6.5 x 284 brass, I would buy a PRC.
