[QUOTE="popgun240, post: 1680074, member: 86838"] If you hunt locally and reload, Ackley Improved rounds are great. Travel and have your Ammunition lost, unless you shoot a 280AI. Try to find 6.5 Grendel in the Backwoods of West Virginia or on a trip to a Game Ranch and loose your Wildcat Handloads. Now it's rent an unfamiliar rifle and your Pride and Joy sits in its case. I used to have a 6mm/284 Win and it was a Handloads rifle but my hunting then was local, within 40-50 miles. Now I drive 300 miles but I shoot a 300 Win Mag for Antelope, Deer and Cow Elk. I'm a 100% Disabled Vietnam Veteran and an Amputee. I cannot walk on any uneven ground. Left ankle is fused and right is Hydraulic, no balance. I'm relegated by the State as a Road Hunter, legally. I get Land Owner permission to hunt on their Ranches that are posted to all others. So, I use a round capable of taking an Elk at 600 yards with sufficient energy to assure a clean kill if bullet is placed in proper spot. Last October I took a Retrograde 4X4 Mule Deer Buck. 140 yards using hood for a rest with the bipod. It had been 49 years between Bucks. Late was a Blacktail taken on Camp Roberts, CA in 1969.
