[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 1532163, member: 12443"] I frankly don't care who im talking to, my answers will be the same. When were discussing extreme range, and shooting at animals, either have enough gun or don't do it. And a 6.5 of any configuration isn't enough gun regardless of who's using it. Which is exactly why a very popular cartridge in the 6.5x300 Weatherby died almost over night almost 50 years ago at least where some of us happen to hunt. Who cares about how much powder, barrel life or anything else when talking about L/R hunting performance? Fact is it was Hornady introduced the very bullet that killed the 6.5 way back then. Now they recognize an opportunity to make hay again with a whole new generation of shooters. The short fat PPC case revolutionized short range benchrest decades ago. And ever since the attempt has been being made to do it with larger calibers. But that has very little to do with hunting, and especially with extreme distance hunting, which is what I thought this discussion is about. A 300 WSM is still (almost) as good as a 300 Win Mag, which is still (almost) as good as a blown out old 300 H&H last time I checked. [/QUOTE]
