[QUOTE="Hoss50, post: 2283727, member: 109801"] I switch calibers for different hunts and or potential terrain. Each gun has 1 load that is capable of taking all the animals from elk on down, but terrain and how I feel change things. If I think ranges will be shorter say under 350 yards i typically default to my 6.5x55 shooting Berger 135gr Classic Hunters. If i think ranges might get longer i pull out the 300 weatherby shooting 168gr Barnes TTSX so i have a little more horsepower. The 6.5x55 has killed everything i need clean and quick, but the ranges are under 300. I have it sited out to 500 yards and I know it is accurate still, but the bullet starts out at about 2725FPS so past 300 I like a little more HP. The 300 weatherby spits the 168gr TTSX at over 3200 FPS so it Carrie's out further. I am not a "long range" hunter yet. I hope to change that at some point soon. [/QUOTE]
