[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1719055, member: 54178"] OK, so: 1. Light weight hunting rifles that have "short" actions like my 6.5 PRC Browning X- Bolt save weight with that smaller action length. 2. Those short action rifles need cartridges [I]with good ballistics [/I]and [I]good power[/I] to humanely take big game. To me the 6.5 CM is the beginning of the big game cartridge ladder with others like the.308 Win. and on up to the 6.5 PRC, to name a few, which fit those short actions. Not all those short cartridges have the best trajectories but at least some, like the .308, have "decent" trajectories up to say, 600 yards which is a long shot for any big game. As I've mentioned, my choice is the 6.5 PRC but other short cartridges work well too. Take your cue from results you have seen. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
