[QUOTE="mawbro, post: 1734874, member: 48214"] You need 1800fps at 800yds for optimal bullet performance. You can research that. If I were you I'd ditch the 22" limitation and go 24" or even 26". Everybody and their dog has a 6.5 Creed and they work well for tagets to 800 and if you place the shot correctly it will kill for sure. My 2 cents: use something in 7mm that has enough velocity and weight to be effective at 800 at center mass. I shoot a custom 308 win at 1000 and at shorter range matches and I guarantee you I've shamed many of the 6.5 Creeds. However, I wouldn't recommend 308 for any hunting under 700. Don't get me wrong, the 6.5 Creed is an excellent cartridge and they have their place. [/QUOTE]
