[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1677911, member: 10291"] Any of the rounds listed will work well depending on the particular conditions. I personally like a minimum of 1800FPS/1000FPE with a good expanding 140gr or heavier bullet at the maximum range I plan to hunt the big bodied northern deer. I have been running a 6.5x284 for about the last 10 years and it has served me quite well with dozens of deer under its belt from 150-1000 yards. The recently introduced 156 Berger looks to be quite promising in my rifles at +3000FPS. If they demonstrate terminal performance comparable to the 140’s, I’ll surely spend another 10 years with this cartridge. [/QUOTE]
