[QUOTE="Creedmoor shooter, post: 2063884, member: 72601"] If you want true versatility and low recoil your going to have to overlap your 7mm-08. 6mms and 22s aren't really what I'd call vesatile. They're really good at varmint hunting and competitive shooting. 6mm would be fine if just whitetails were on the menu. I'm sure 6mm would work on mules but I'd feel more comfortable with a 6.5. If your really wanting versatility and not overlap the 7mm-08, 6.5 prc or 6.5x284 would probably be your best bet. Your going to have to compromise recoil but neither of those should recoil that bad. Especially if this is just a hunting cartridge turning up the heat isn't a bad thing. You can load down to 120s for lighter recoil and load say a 156 bergwr when you go mule hunting. [/QUOTE]
