[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1473392, member: 68875"] Nothing wrong with a plain Jane .260 Rem or 6.5CM. You will get 2750-2800+ from a 22" barrel running factory ammo. Recoil is super light, ballistics with 130-140+s are great. You will be ringing steel to 1000 of the rifle is accurate enough. Great barrel life too. I have 1800+ in my 6.5SLR right now and still shooting in the .2s. A legitimate 600-800+ yard deer rifle as long as you put the bullet where it needs to go. Others to consider, but ammo is not as readily available. 6.5x47L 6.5-.284 Norma 6.5x55 Swede .264WM (you can run it down to .260Rem speeds for steel, or hot rod it for hunting) Etc. [/QUOTE]
