[QUOTE="Sid Post, post: 2368271, member: 8907"] None of those are what I would consider long range rounds. Sure, buffalo hunters could shoot black powder 45-70 and larger calibers significant distances but, that isn't practical or likely for most people these days. At 200 or 300 yards, those are probably reasonable for most people that can handle the recoil. In the hands of someone truly skilled and well versed in the round, they could be "lobbed in" for good effect on medium and large game at significantly greater distances. For deer and goats, I tend to think 257 Weatherby/25-06 or one of the small 7mm magnums/280 Remington but, something like a 6.5-06 is probably a real sweet spot for most "normal" hunting situations for medium-sized game in the lower 48 states. YMMV [/QUOTE]
