[QUOTE="snox801, post: 2931636, member: 54383"] I still would vote two different rounds. I love the 6.5 prc for medium range light weight stuff. Then a 9-11lbs larger magnum for the real long range stuff. 6.5 creedmore or prc will be easy shooting with a brake or can on it no matter what the weight but harder to shoot long range because of weight. Keep in mind I’ve repeatedly shot game at 6-700 yards with my ultra light creed and the 123gr hammers. That rig very light 6.8lbs ready to hunt with ammo if my memory has not faded to bad. Then go up to a 8-10lbs magnum .7mm or 30 cal. That will get you way out and still not be terrible to shoot with the added weight. Now something to think about if you are gonna be spending more time on targets with the larger of the two is barrel life. Larger bore say 300win mag,prc, 30 Nosler. Pick your flavor all will have very decent barrel life especially the win mag and 300prc. [/QUOTE]
