[QUOTE="73driver, post: 2812423, member: 36473"] Let's get rational and unbiased. The 6.5C and the 270 are nearly equal at 700 yards. The 270 has 1874fps and 1133ft/lbs with a drop of 109 inches. The 6.5C 1842fps and 1077ft/lbs with 120 inch drop. This from two of my rifles shooting Hornady Precision Hunter ammo, clocked with LabRadar and solved with StrelokPro and proved at the range. This is about the normally touted limit for deer which I recall as 1000ft/lbs and 1800fps is sufficient for good bullet performance. This would now come down to how accurate is your rifle and do you shoot better at distance with less recoil or do you manage recoil well and its not a factor. [/QUOTE]
