[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1679629, member: 54178"] Well, I choose a cartridge based on: 1. [B]medium recoil[/B] with .300 Win mag being at the upper limits of "medium". 2.[B] inherent accuracy [/B]of the cartridge (i.e. 6.5 mm bullets have great BCs and CD numbers and the cartridge has a long enough neck to load longer bullets W/O compressing a powder charge) [I]Ex[/I]. I just purchased a 6.5 PRC Browning X-Bolt Pro for the cartridge's flat trajectory and the energy it has to kill a bull elk out to 400 - 400 yards - should I ever pull a tag! 3. [B]availability of brass[/B] for reloading (6.5 PRC will be showing up in many brands in the next few years. "In Hornady marketing I trust.") So no, I don't want any cartridge above .30 caliber and as mentioned .300 Win mag is my upper limit for recoil tolerance. After all, a boy has to practice and practice means at least 40 rounds per session. Would YOU shoot a 300 RUM for 40 rounds?? Me neither. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
