[QUOTE="Buster Hemlock, post: 1600987, member: 109327"] If you can't accurately put your shots in the boiler room while hunting game animals then you shouldn't take the shot, period. That range is different for everyone, weather conditions will vary this for a individual shooter from day to day. Cartridges with high velocity, launching heavy for caliber bullets with a high BC are ideal for obvious reasons but if you can't shoot a 7, 300 or 338 or whatever well due to recoil then a lighter recoiling 6.5 may be the answer as long as the shooter can place a shot properly. And sometimes the heavy bullets aren't the answer either, at short to mid-range they are dropping faster, recoiling more and may be drifting more too. [/QUOTE]
