[QUOTE="CB11WYO, post: 934055, member: 57339"] Since you have parameters of "medium game" and "800 yards max" I would be really tempted to choose a lighter caliber due to lighter recoil, good shootability, etc... The 6.5's and even the right 6mm might fit your bill, if you were so inclined... :) I've hunted antelope to past 800 yards with my 6x47, knocking them down with just over 800 ft/lbs of retained energy. Probly pushing it a bit, just my experience and .02. 6.5 sounds really good the more I think about it... a 260 maybe?? [/QUOTE]
