[QUOTE="Capt RB, post: 1362711, member: 85987"] 6.5's are killers for sure the speedier the better. If your expecting to shoot most shots 500-700 I'd go 7 or 30 cal. If you just want to be able to make a once in a lifetime shot at 700yds and expect most shots inside of 500 the creed will be fine. I would go with a 264 or 6.5 -06 of some flavor for game. The extra speed will help considerably. 2800ish to 3200ish is a huge upgrade in the 140 or bigger class. Step up to a 7 and the 160-195 allows for considerable upgrade in energy on target. 30 cal would be an even bigger step up with 200+grn bullets. With modern brakes and electronic ear muffs you can wear 100% of the day you have some great choices to consider. [/QUOTE]
