[QUOTE="Jammer1, post: 473014, member: 12635"] Lets keep in mind that the Swedes and the Finns have been quite effectively killing moose with the 6.5mm Swedish Mauser for many years. As for hunting over 400 yards, the 260 shines there too. Where I live in Western Oklahoma, there is no better cartridge for doing it all in my opinion. Yes you could do the same with a 300 Mag of whatever persuasion, but not any better. While it certainly wouldnt be the first choice, I wouldnt hesitate to take anything in North America with it short of Grizzly, Polar bears, and Bison. With a well built hunting bullet, those long slender 140 gr bullets will penetrate astonishingly well. [/QUOTE]
