[QUOTE="sambo3006, post: 185622, member: 2740"] I definitely agree with the other guys that a 30 cal is not necessary for deer size critters. The 7mm RUM would be my pick. I have one that shoots the 150 gr BT like a dream at 3375 fps. It is off getting a brake right now but I picked up some 162 gr Hornady A-max bullets to play with when it gets back. This bullet has gotten good reviews here as a long range deer killer and it has a pretty good BC at a listed .625. I would think that 3250 fps would not be a problem out of my 26" tube. If you went with a 28 or 30" tube, you could probably improve significantly on that. I know where you are coming from on the fast light bullet vs slower high BC heavy bullet. Since you are limiting your range to 600 yds, I would think either approach would work well. A ballistic reticle should work great for holdover and you could either hold off or click for windage. Anything under 400 yds should be a point and shoot if you sight in at 300 yds. [/QUOTE]
