[QUOTE="scottishkat, post: 1070548, member: 82202"] After review of your choices and the weight grain availability of your bullet choice the 100 gr from the 257WBY at 3600 has an advantage at the limit of your range. The 130gr 270W has the advantage over the 120gr 6.5CM with 1060 FPS of energy at 600 while the CM will be less than 1000 at 500. After shooting deer for years with the 260 rem I will offer this wounding is not broad when velocity is slower. The 260 and the CM are for the most part identical and with proper bullet selection can do a reasonable job at harvesting game at extended ranges [U][B]IMO[/B][/U] 400 yards max for humane harvesting of game. The 6.5 mm bullets at lower velocities with controlled expansion will enter caliber size and exit an animal maybe 1/2" in diameter. The E-Tip says 1800 fps minimum the 120gr in the CM will not be that fast at the limits of your range the 270 will be with little to spare. Good luck and shoot straight Bob [/QUOTE]
