[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1344725, member: 68875"] My opinion: For the target shooting: 1. 6.5 CM 2. 6.5x55 Swede 3. .308 Win 4. .270 Win For deer out to 800 yards: 1. 270 Win 2. .308 Win 3. (tie) 6.5 CM & 6.5x55 Swede (I think with bullet weight and velocity, these are at the limit for deer sized game @ 800 yards. My daughter shot her big muley buck last year at 637 with my 6.5 SLR and deer dropped on the spot. But 800 was our max I would let her shoot that rifle.) For Hog @ 200 yards: 1. .270 Win 2. .308 Win 3. Same tie as above. Either should work fine with proper bullet and shot placement. [/QUOTE]
