[QUOTE="Slope77, post: 1714521, member: 101910"] I like to reload, but I don’t dial and probably wouldn’t shoot at an animal past 500-550 at the absolute furthest. I have B&C reticle on my two primary rifles (7RM & 25-06) which will take me that far. I was really excited about a 6.5 Rem Mag for a while, and then a 6.5 PRC. My thought was getting 270 performance in a 243 sized package - kind of a 7Mag lite. However, the fast 6.5s may be short actions but probably not short or light barrels. What am I gaining over a 270 (which is actually a lot easier in terms of components) out to 500 yards? Especially when you look at performance of 270 with new powders like RL26 (if you can find it). No knock on the round (it seems really well balanced) or the people who use it, just not worth the hassle or more limited choice in firearms to me, vs the 270. [/QUOTE]
