[QUOTE="jarnold37, post: 1867833, member: 29241"] I tend to agree. Started out with a 25-06 and was told to use biggest bullet possible. Turned out at 2800 fps it usually poked a hole. One hit at 209 yds and the deer acted like wasnt even hit. Then went to smaller bullets and found the 87 grn to be the ticket. At 3550 fps yes the deer could tell the difference. Longest shot with that fast little bullet was 440 yds facing head on. Dropped. Eventually experimented with bigger cartridges. The longer yardages need better accuracy. 1.5" straight taper barrel with big single shot action, Jewell trigger, 12-42 NF scope and 30-378 and 338-378 with no freebore and You can have cake and eat it too. Have different twist barrels for both and can shoot small to large bullets. Velocity is addicting and yes you can also have accuracy. [/QUOTE]
