[QUOTE="nso123, post: 5216299, member: 2508"] Out of the calibers you have listed here is what I would look at based on current availability: For the kids (assuming we are not talking about really young kids) go with the 6.5 CM just because components abound, factory ammo is available in normal times, and they are generally pretty easy to load for. Recoil is pretty modest as well. For elk, of the rounds you listed, .300 WM is probably the easiest to find brass for. It will kill anything in North America, and factory ammo is easy to find in normal times. You can load it really fast or slow it down a little. I have killed several deer with one and never noticed excessive damage to meat. As for some of the other calibers you have listed (WSM, PRC, Norma Mag) I would wait until things settle down in the industry a bit. Some of that brass was tough to get before the panic, and is next to impossible to get now. [/QUOTE]
