[QUOTE="toddc, post: 1269788, member: 4566"] The 6.5 is the BEST caliber for STEEL. The recoil to wind ratio with it is most effective in PRS style events. Guys who run a straight 284 or SAUM will argue this and probably have a stronger case actually , but the current PRS scene is 6.5 RULED. LRH is not PRS. Steel just has to go PING not DIE. 2 different things. Glad you brought this up Waynzee, 10 yrs ago no one on here was so ENAMORED with the 6.5 and everyone realized horsepower, weight and frontal area mattered in LRH. The PRS game has gotten a lot of people forgetting that animals move, wind blows and we make mistakes. Dropping a point on steel may hurt your ego really bad, cost you a trophy or even a check. It will NOT hurt anywhere at all like getting gutshot with a caliber that a 338 would have done the job instantaneously. [/QUOTE]
