[QUOTE="*WyoWhisper*, post: 8373"] Yup, Chris is pretty much on the money with my way of thinking... I realize there is less dope applied to the 6.5's and less elevation applied in the 6.5's On computers and paper the 6.5's retain more energy down range because of the high B.C. That all makes alot of sense and will shoot well for a person. But If you do your part and know the rifle, you should know your limits and your effective and accurate range with that rifle... If you can acheive 2700 fps with the 175's you have 233" of drop and 830 Ft. Lbs. of energy at 800 yards... Now here's another way to look at it... a 9mm shoots a fast light bullet.... a 45 shoots a heavy slow bullet which one will knock down the bad guy quicker with one shot to the chest? It has always been my philosophy that you don't have to be the fastest or biggest bullet just the most accurate bullet. Albeit accuracy has many variables.. it is up to you to accurately,quickly and efficiently apply your knowledge to your weapon. To make it accurate... when it comes down to it if your cartridges are accurate and your rifle is accurate ... it is all on you.... no brainer and no problem... just practice... [/QUOTE]
