[QUOTE="sierra22, post: 349292, member: 949"] Try a 6,5 mm with 120-140gr bullets. Softer shooter than 308, bucks the wind better and kills any deer at 500 yds. 6.5x55 is my favorite. Have a look at 6.5x47 if you are using short action. Both are very accurate cartridges easy to reload. Expect 4-5000rds a barrels with match accuracy. It has a lot to do with cleaning, a friend had 3000rds through his 6.5x284 now. With 2 recrownings it still shoots 3/4 MOA and better. [/QUOTE]
