[QUOTE="Deleted member 115360, post: 2053175"] 6.5 prc is a good option for what you've mentioned. Shaw makes them in that cartridge too. It is sufficient for the lower 48. It really makes water at extended ranges too. I was comparing data and realized that at 1000y a 147gr eldm is almost exactly where my 300 Weatherby 200gr eldx is in velocity and energy. That doesn't account for projectile diameter, but it is still above 1,600 fps which is where hornday says their eld line won't reliably expand. [/QUOTE]
