[QUOTE="jrock, post: 1248852, member: 78569"] This isn't really a recommendation but more of my thoughts as I have been mulling over a similar question. My .243 Win with 100 gr bullets has been doing really well on deer and has enough energy (IMO) for deer out to 500 yards. I was thinking of rebarreling to a tighter twist and 20" barrel to shoot the 115 gr. bullets or going to the 6.5 in 130 gr. The 115gr 6mm as the same BC as the 130 gr. 6.5 but the 6.5 bullet options have better construction which would help on elk sized game. I'm still on the fence as I feel that lighter bullets going faster have less felt recoil than larger bullet. I'm leaning toward the 6mm but am looking for more terminal performance on the 115gr VLD's. [/QUOTE]
