[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 810197, member: 12443"] when i started long range hunting in n c pa the gun most used by long rangers there was the 6.5x300 weatherby. main reason being there was one good bullet for that and none for any other cartridges. slowly that changed and as it did hunters lost interest in the 6.5. in other words, there were better choices. i personaly see little logic in saying i wonder how far i could kill a deer with this thing. ive never known anyone who went back to the 6.5 as their choice of a long range cartridge. balistic charts are one thing. watching them as they get hit is quite another. most of us get very little time each year to actually hunt. then theres no guarantee of cooperation from the weather man. this aint no time for foolin around. pick something you wont be guessing about. if your that sensetive to recoil then maybe you should be sticking to varmit hunting. thats fun also.
