[QUOTE="4xforfun, post: 579661, member: 9172"] If you are talkin mature bucks to 1000 yards, leave the 6.5's at home. Minimum for me would be a 7mm, and it would need to blister out the 180 class bullets...I am talking the 7mm RUM and up sized cases. Those big 7mm bullets are BC wonders and work quite well on deer!! 30 cals.....300 WBY and up with any of the 210 - 240 VLD bullets. 338 cal....340 WBY and up. Again, just my .02. If I was (and I plan to, by the way) going to build a LR deer sticker it would be a supercharged 7mm.....maybe a on a 338 lapua case. A 180 JLK at 3400- 3500 is a MONSTER at distance!!!! It smokes my 300 wby hunting gun with the 210 berger's at around 3000fps. I figure a 12 pound gun could be shot w/o a brake...I HATE BRAKES FOR HUNTING!!! [/QUOTE]
