[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 1712004, member: 12443"] Well your talking about a special niche in the shooting sports. Especially in the bench rest area of it where lots of shots are fired. The goal is to have as little recoil as possible, while still having enough energy to knock over the largest targets at the longest distances. And for that reason, the 6.5s have become popular there. As for long range hunting however, rest assured that at the longer distances especially, the 30 caliber rules over the other 2, and for good reason. But again, this thread is all about a guy who is simply interested in breaking into shooting at longer distances than he has been. He may, or he may not ever be in a position to take his dream Elk hunt out west. But that need not stop him from gaining the experience he would need if and when he does. And in order to gain that experience, he doesn’t need any of the magnum cartridges. [/QUOTE]
