[QUOTE="rbTanzan, post: 1705527, member: 53978"] Some of this will depend on the rifle. For example, the Tikka uses the same receiver for the "3-08" size as well as the "270" size cartridges. Knowing that, my 110-lb. wife went with the 270 over the 6.5CM, even if it was a close call. A 129gnLRX does 3100 +/-25fps with 55.0-55.5gn R16 in a 22.4" barrel. That gives it a 200fps advantage over the CM. All of the above are pretty good choices, 7-08, 270, 6.5 CM, and 260. The 257Roberts would also make a nice hunting rifle but is probably light for 600yd targets without special loading and bullets. Kimber makes the Hunter in the Bob. If going Tikka, I would stay away from the 3-08 because they use an 11"-twist. 7-08, 270, and 6.5CM can be recommended. [/QUOTE]
