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

If you look at the ballistics for the 6.5PRC it will kill elk and moose just fine within its parameters .
6.5, .284.,30.338, it doesn't matter so much the cartridge / caliber as the shot placement for the largest part as far as killing an animal goes we tend to fuss and worry far too much sometimes about stuff like that and not about our marksmanship
