[QUOTE="tim_w, post: 1831737, member: 11132"] I really like the idea of having plenty of capacity if needed as you can always download or use lighter loaded ammo. I have found 7RM 270 W or WSM anything in that range like the Sherman shorts or SST to work great. Load lighter for less recoil covers all the 280 and 08 stuff. If you need more you can step up to full pressure heavier higher bc bullet loads. It gives you more configurability. To me nothing lighter than 8lb ready to hunt. I tried one super light 6.5 with scope etc and it was just too twitchy feeling for me. But that's likely a personal thing to some extent. 600 yd leaves you plenty of room and choices with good shot placement. [/QUOTE]
