Having now shot both, I think I can handle the recoil of each of these cartridges and nothing more. My questions are: Which will make a better elk gun? Which is more versatile? Which will pair better with a 6.5x55 Swedish to make the "Dynamic Duo" for deer, antelope and elk hunting?

I will certainly handload, so each will be tailored to the task at hand.

Any thoughts?
