I've been toying with the idea of a suppressor for my hunting gun.

Figure it would add ~9" to the barrel-length and ~1lb to the overall weight of the rifle.

So -- what's a good caliber for elk-sized game that plays well with roughly a 17" barrel?

I keep being drawn to the 284 Winchester for some reason, although I've heard a lot of good things about 7mm WSM in-general.
