[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1506715, member: 69192"] Hello VLD, I totally agree with you on the .277s vs. 6.5-7mms. For me with the heavier .277s, the problem turns into one with changing the twists to meet the need of stabilizing the heavier bullets. I am interested in shooting 130s and 150s, and again with a "maybe" 500 yard shot. I have written numerous times here that I will not be hunting elk, mountain goat or Dall sheep in the mountains with this rifle,[U][I] simply deer[/I][/U]. And.....if you compare the BCs of the .277 130-150 bullets, with the BCs of the .284 130-150 and plug them into any of the drop tables, with any of the calibers we are discussing here, and then compare them there really is not that considerable of difference between the two out to 400 to a [U][I]"maybe"[/I][/U] a 500 yard shot to make that much difference. I hunt in the northeast, unless I am hunting on some really large farmland or on a power line, anything further is just not available; and, even if it were it were it probably would not be ethical for me to try the shot. I must say that I really enjoy reading the various treads and the information that I get on them. As a result I have found some really good data on barrels and various reloading data that has made a difference in my shooting fun. [/QUOTE]
