[QUOTE="gilmillan1, post: 895769, member: 59183"] hello, I wanted a new gun to have fun with. I wanted a gun to hunt deer at less than 500 yards, and be able to shoot paper at longer distances. At first, i thought a 308 win would do the trick. However, the BCs of the 160-175 bullets simply sucks. That just did not convince me, and i do not like the idea of shooting the 200 grain bullets at 2500 fps. So then I thought, what about a 7mm-08. Well, the 160 grain bullet has great BCs, but then again, i would have to shoot them somewhat slow. Then i thought what about a 6.5mm bullet in 140 grain in a 308 win case. I think that would be a good compromise for me. I already have a 243 so, i think the above cartridge would be great for me. however, whats the name of it? [/QUOTE]
