[QUOTE="Willybuck, post: 2574956, member: 113591"] I’ve hunted with short barreled .243 to long 35 cals. Hunted for years with a 22 inch 270 Winchester. Key is small bore short barrels work until they don’t. It’s one thing to shoot 100 pound white tails broadside in Texas and a whole different story than a once in a lifetime opportunity at a giant bull elk or kudu across a canyon in the mountains. I found a 30 cal magnum works for me out to 500m. With a 26 inch #3 fluted barrel with an Accubreak one and done. 150 grain TSX at 3400 for deer / sheep sized animals. For bigger animals like elk / kudu or longer range work 180 grain TSX work well. [/QUOTE]
