[QUOTE="cowboy, post: 1086758, member: 8833"] Quality of a bullet is much more important than the weight of a bullet - especially if you stay within 500 yds as a max distance. My old hunting partner shot more elk with a 130 gr bullet out of a 270 than you could fit in a box car. One of my sons shoots a 6.5 X 284 with 140 gr pills and anything inside 700 yds has not liked the results. I started a young man in the long range game a number of years a go with a .260 and 130 gr bullets. He's never switched the loads or got caught up in I need something bigger/better and after a couple dozen head of deer, elk, bear and a sheep he's about ready for a new barrel. If the muzzle on your wife's rifle is at least .550" or more I could give you a personal experience on a '06 and a brake - been there done that and still doing it. [/QUOTE]
