[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 632779, member: 13632"] Just a goat gun, hummm. We use a lot of 22-250's out to 600 yards but they just don't get it in the wind! Wacked one last year with a 338 RUM and a Berger 300gr OTM, very wind resistant and puts them down :D I really like the 6.5's, my dad shoots a 6.5 Sherman and it launches a 140 Berger at 3150fps and does a good job all round, I shoot a 270 WSM with 165 Matrix and the ballistics are nearly identical to the 6.5 Sherman but when the bullets land the 270 dominates the 6.5 but goats are practically looking for a reason to die so you don't really need the horse power. Shooting in the wind is more about shooting a lot in it, hot chamberings just have you chasing lands and rechambering just when your getting it figured out. If I were just starting out with a 600 yard goal and working on getting out farther in practice I think I would go with a 260 with 140gr A-max crammed in them, shoot the day lights out of it with good barrel life and the A-max will TKO a goat even at lower velocity but it has the BC to work with!! Our gun list for Wyoming is 6.5 Sherman, 250AI, 30-338, 270 WSM and 338 RUM, bullets are 140 Berger, 115 Berger, 215 Berger, 165 Matrix or 170 Berger and the 300gr Berger :D We'll use the 22-250's in MT gun) [/QUOTE]
