[QUOTE="Crusty Buck, post: 816951, member: 44282"] cohunter14, I agree with 99% of your statement. The 1% I hold in reservation is that the sectional density of the bullet makes a big difference as well. Some of the slower moving 6.5 mm's and 7 mm's have excellent sectional density. Depending on the load, they can often be made to approximate some of the standard loads of the 300's. For a shot over 500 yds. on an Elk, I'm in your camp with the 300's. Does anyone out there have any experience with the 30-06 necked down to 6.5 mm ? That might be a sweet one for a beginner in long range hunting:) Crusty Buck [/QUOTE]
