[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1344916, member: 30902"] "kill a deer at least 800 yards away and "Enough stopping power to stop an angry hog at 200yds". If you want to stick with the 6.5's you probably need to stay with the .260 Rem, 6.5cm or .264wm. Personally I think you'd be far better off stepping up to the 7mm STW, 28 Nosler, 300wm or other .30 cal magnums with that list of criteria. Big hogs are tough to bring down quickly with anything other than a head/spine shot and the heavier, larger diameter bullets give you a measure of margin of error smaller bullets do not. [/QUOTE]
