[QUOTE="thinair, post: 1603498, member: 109077"] Since you mentioned up to 500 yard hunting, and this sturdy creature named elk is on your list. Build something that can run 180 eldm at ~2800 or faster. 180 is the best bullet for pretty much everything you named. It simply has THE BEST ballistics up to 338 lapua (after that it is different ball game ballistically) for target practicing and ethically hunt elk. You need 2000 energy left to shoot thru shoulder, and 1200 on lung shot (according to Colorado parks and wildlife). Therefore at sea level 180eldm travelling at 2800, still has 2000 energy at 500 yards. 1200 energy left up to ~1000 yards. Nothing else can offer you that, no 6.5 etc. Case close, thread done.
