[QUOTE="Timbersquatch, post: 1863305, member: 111658"] I'm dont own any magnums; I have always had an admiration for the 6.5mm calibers like the 6.5 prc, 6.5-06, 6.5×284, 6.5-300 etc, and the ole .270. My opinion is those bullets are pound for pound the best performing rounds. Granted at very long distances they do fall a little short on energy; but I dont find it coincidental that Best of the West uses a 6.5×284 for most of their long range kills. I think for a guy like me that doesnt like recoil, those rounds are sufficient for taking long shots. But just like any other big game caliber, the focus should always be on a precision shot for a quick kill; magnum or not. [/QUOTE]
