[QUOTE="Todd Gansel, post: 1675166, member: 107021"] Wow, I have to say you are way over thinking this. The 6.5 SAUM is an incredible cartridge. The 6.5 bullet itself is incredible. Don't just look at BCs but SDs. 30 cals don't catch up with it until they hit about 200gr. My go to for anything here in Montana is my 264 Win Mag. Just learn to shoot the SAUM and be able to hit what your aiming at. I use as a general rule of thumb the 1000 ft lb rule. Do you ballistics and when the bullet energy drops below 1000 ft lbs that is your max distance on big game. Sure there can be exceptions but stick to it. I do not like to chase wounded animals never have either. But your notion that the 6.5 SAUM is not enough is absurd. [/QUOTE]
