[QUOTE="Swiftkill, post: 2462961, member: 104167"] The drawback of a belted case? Is that the 30/06 and 308 don't have one!!! :) I don't know....but the 300 win mag was the king of long range maybe that only changed since so many people are putting attention and effort into making other cartridges work. Ok, it is not a 6mm PPC but neither is a 6.5 Creedmore and this is the first thing that popped up when I put "300 win mag v. 6.5 Creedmore". A 6.5 Creedmoor with a 143 grain ELD-X bullet going 2700 fps reaches the minimum energy to kill a deer at just over 750 yards, it reaches the minimum energy to kill an elk at 400 yards. A 300 Win Mag firing a[B] 210 Berger VLD hunting bullet at 2900 fps will have enough energy to kill a deer at past 1200 yards and an elk at just past 900 yards[/B]. Nuff said. Except, in the words of the Great Harry Callahan in " Magnum Force", " A Man's got to know his limitations." (Unless he has a 300 Win Mag, then there are no limitations!) OK, I added that. [/QUOTE]
