Need to give this a Merry Christmas.... Bump !!!

A BIG +1 This my friends is the smartest and best Post on this site in a long time. I suggest reading it and re-reading it Good Job and Merry Christmas to you all

Re: I almost cant bring myself to say it. Turning to the darkside (you will be shocke First and foremost its great that you have "owned" with your 308...... good job I mean look at the barrel life and the inherent accuracy of the 308 enough said however I shoot the 6.5x284 and like...

go with the 6.5-284 great brass to start with then just load and shoot you can use the short action great however your single shot only with long bullets good luck

Thanks Boss that's good info and I totally agree with the recoil part however the nice part is they are very lite Now the question ..... is the 44 mag enough for a Wind River Bear !!!!!!

I have a good friend that has had 3 coopers 2 in 6.5x284 and one in 25-06 and they all shot fantastic we practice on clay's out to 800 yds a lot and he can easily hit them and on paper they are excellent 100 to 800 yards his grandson (13 yrs) shot a antelope at 706 yds this year...

You Alaskan guys might be able to help we go into the Wind Rivers in WY for a week and last year we seen a lot of Bear "sign" and I wanted to carry something in the "Lite " weight range due to the fact we are gone 6 days with everything on our backs and just wanted to know what you think...

That's exactly what I mean ... if you re-read what I said you do not have to fire form a 6.5x284 like you would have to to with most any "AI" type of case which as you know takes up barrel life,time,money, and so on...

I think your not going to have any trouble finding a "standard" bolt face at all and if thats the case I would have to recommend a 6.5x284 Excellent bullet choices High BC's High Sectional Density Excellent Brass (Lapua) Low recoil And No fire forming to make a "AI" version

+1 go for the 6.5x284 Also to consider the following great brass (Lapua) high sectional density bullets as well as high BC bullets Lots of options in weight and type of bullets low recoil Used it on a 824 meter Cow elk this last wednesday ....DRT

NOT true get your master out and look at the far right side same thing applies as the left side in mils Target size that you need to know then what your MOA spacing reads in your scope then line up your findings and read the yardage in the left column same as mills 10" target that is 2.0...

Cow elk at 824 meters 6.5x284 142 Sierra match king

Getting back to the original post .... The bottom line here is that Bud Martin made an excellent shot in the goodie box and the animal is done... Thanks for sharing the pics and the original post good luck and take care
