[QUOTE="bultinkle, post: 2825469, member: 122809"] Depends on your elevation for hunting and your bullet choice. my opinion is you need enough powder to push your selected bullet to its expansion velocity at your longest shots. Give an extra 1-200 fps if you’re feeling uncomfortable about it. Without other info I’ll select 6.5prc because it will do it at sea level with factory ammo bullet selection. My 16” 6.5 creed hits my velocity threshold at sea level at around 480 with a 143. With a 130 it should move that out to 550 or so. Add altitude and you’re good to 6 [/QUOTE]
