[QUOTE="JASmith, post: 2808625, member: 24844"] The trouble wth going light while using a full-sze cartridge is RECOIL I normally recommend the 6.5 Grendel because it has a very good track record on medium game iut to past 400 yards. That said, 125 gr-class lead core bullets will do fine for deer and other animals weigh as much as 300 lb. Should one be interested in game wieghing up to 770 lb like elk, the lead free bullets in the 100-125 gr range will do as long as the impact velocity is high enough to ensure expansion. Your shoulder and ability to shoot precisely will thank you for the choice. [/QUOTE]
