Exellent!
My wife chooses not to hunt but at least she comes along and helps glass for deer/elk. She also helps with the field dressing (now thats love!). |

| The 6.5 x 55 Swede is a great cartridge, but you may find it much easier locating a .260 Rem. Either will deliver a 120, 140 or 160 bullet out to 300-350 yds with authority. also, you can even get bul ... |

| What do you currently own and shoot well? Most of the people I know use a 270 Win or 30.06. They usually just use a premium bullet for elk that they might not use for deer. |

A friend hunted SW of Chama, NM a few years ago and he saw lots of elk and took a fine bull. I believe it was a private land hunt.

| Like the other men, I suggest using the bullet your rifle shoots best, and a .308 Win with 165 can take a 300 yd pronghorn-if you can hold steady enough. so, enjoy the hunt and know that you already h ... |
