i have been contemplating getting a larger caliber but a lightweight rifle still and using a muzzle break. I sheep hunt in a very high grizzly density area so i am always worried with the 7mm-08 if it would be enough to stop a charging grizzly.

I am considering getting a savage 110 ultralight in either the 300 wsm or a 280ai. The 6.5 prc seems a little to light for elk and moose? Hoping to have just one all around hunting rifle and still keeping it really light
