[QUOTE="mnoland30, post: 1821895, member: 29323"] The 6.5 has made people realize you don't need a magnum to kill game, especially with today's improved bullets. I think the smaller calibers have a lot of potential. I hunt javelina with a 7mm TCU (necked up .223), with a velocity of about 1800 fps. It is astounding how fast that will drop a javelina. I picked 7mm for all my rifles, because at the time, it had the best B.C. of any caliber (in a reasonable weight). I might pick a 6.5 mm today instead, and if I wanted to shoot a different rifle for deer and elk, maybe a 6mm with a high B.C. for deer. [/QUOTE]
