[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1373415, member: 10291"] My go to cartridge for shooting/hunting to 1000+ yards for almost a decade has been the 6.5x284 loaded to 3000FPS with 140/142 VLDs. Owning numerous rifles in a variety of cartridges, the 6.5x284, while not the fastest in its class, is my idea of a nicely balanced, all around cartridge capable of delivering excellent performance. Recently, my fun rifle for targets/steel to 1000+ yards and capable on medium game to 700 yards, is the 6.5x47 Lapua loaded to 2800/2900FPS with 140/130 Berger Hybrids. This is also my choice for PRS competition. Considering it a short action younger brother to the 6.5x284, it’s an absolute laser, with very low recoil, long case/barrel life, and much like my 6.5x284’s, for me, it inspires high confidence with challenging targets.
