[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 2760991, member: 27307"] And .30 caliber. I haven't bothered with anything on the .308 case except the .308 Win. which is a standard. There are enough 6.5s to make your rifle work without trying to stuff another case into the magazine without action/magazine modifications. If you don't want the 6.5 Creedmoor then I suggest looking at the numbers for the 6.5x47 Lapua. This case has a decent capacity while being slightly shorter which allows for those higher BC, longer bullets. I've been shooting the Sierra 130 gr. TMK and the Hornady 135 A-Tips for hunting and some longer range target shooting. If heavy bullets are on the menu, I'm using the Hornady 153 gr. A-Tips for hunting and the Berger 153.5 gr. Hybrid Target. All of these bullets will make 850 yards with 1,800 FPS and over 1,000 ft/lbs of energy. Enjoy the search! :) [/QUOTE]
