[QUOTE="Hespco, post: 1955377, member: 109476"] Built my 6.5x308 wildcat back in 1994. Known as 260 Rem today. Using the then Barnes 120gr "X" bullet it has taken several elk along with deer. My Savage 260 also , with the TSX. . Also my 6.5x06 with exact same ballistics as the PRC. Nothing magical about the brass case. Include the 6.5x55 . Before that my 338 mag when I was younger plus 30 cal & 7 mags. They have all worked & still continue to do so. But my preference today is the 6.5. Took my elk again last season with a 6.5 & a Hammer 121 gr bullet. Complete penetration thru both front shoulders. These copper mono bullets have changed the way I look at a cartridge . My elk & deer meat in the freezer doesn't know what cal I used or the brass case behind it. What mattered was a correct sight picture , a gently squeezed trigger which resulted in a properly placed , tough , deep penetrating bullet. Pick what ever cartridge case & bullet dia. you prefer & place it properly & you will be rewarded. [/QUOTE]
