caliber recommendatioins for low recoil at 500 yards

[vulpes vulpes]

You have deer over there? I always thought all you had was fish and chips.....

Yep plenty of fish and chips over here and rather smashing they are too,we've also got lot's of deer running about.

ya know.. you could have just read my first post and saved yourself alot of time. I knew thats all you would be fed. There is a 7mm and a .30 thrown in there somewhere but a 6.5 is definitely perfect for what you are wanting to do... even the 6mm isnt TOO bad. I been on this forum for tooooo long.

In as much as I'm a Brit Bike collector, I appreciate all things British, especially early non unit Triumphs and Nortons.

I agree.

Yeah, I figured my .280 A.I. suggestion would go ignored. LOL

6.5 Creedmore is a wicked round, but as yall know, I've always been a .284 (7mm) junkie. LOL

There are obviously a bunch of choices for that distance and application, as have been listed. A couple of others that I have not seen mentioned are the 270 win and the 30-06. Both of these have fairly mild recoil and should be able to handle deer out to 500-600 yards.

7-08 or 260 rem. it really doesnt get any easier than that.

Both have high B.C pills and are easy to launch to a decent speed with the little .308 parent case.

 

[MudRunner2005]

Yep, 7mm-08 loaded hot with some 140gr Accubonds would be perfect for sub-500 shooting.

.243

Creedmore rounds hard to come buy or do big stores and good gun shops carry them? Seems like a wicked round after reading more about it

I hope that OP is still not waiting for more recommendation since it was posted almost 2 years ago.lightbulb
