[QUOTE="AFraser, post: 1684045, member: 45498"] If your only concern with using a standard 6.5mm cartridge (Creedmoor/260/x47/x55) is the effect on large deer (Elk/Moose) at close range, why not take a leaf out of the Scandinavian's book and use a heavy, bonded bullet, like Sako's 156gr Deerhead? Sako's Factory ammunition for the Creedmoor goes 2674 fps at the muzzle, delivers around 1800ftlb at 200 yards (5000ft) - and I suspect will punch through just about anything. 143gr ELD-X in the magazine for shots >200 yards and you have two rifles in one!
