[QUOTE="Caulder, post: 2893321, member: 126915"] Only answers in my mind are 6.5 PRC and 308. 308 probably the best inside of 400 yards for muleys. Most efficient out of a short barrel, lot's a versatility, can launch fast 137 grain hammers to 180 grain partitions and bigger, get factory ammo anywhere, and won't really get surpassed by 7-08 or anything so long as you are shooting 400 and in. If you plan on shooting longer distances or want to take the gun on an occasional elk hunt, go 6.5 PRC and don't look back. Obsoleted the 6.5 manbun, relatively low recoil, brass is easy to get. Less efficient in a short bbl, but my 18 inch PRC outshoots the 24" creed easy. [/QUOTE]
