[QUOTE="MontanaJack, post: 2726243, member: 25389"] 6.5 mm provides great options for a long range “deer gun”. The 6.5 Creedmoor is a fantastic round despite its critics. My load using 135 gr Berger Classic Hunter bullets provides 1060 ft-lbs of energy at 600 yards, making it a sufficient deer killer at that range. My 6.5-284 load using 156 gr Elite Hunting bullets provides over 1500 ft-lbs of energy at 600 yards, making it suitable for elk. 6.5 PRC seems to be the new darling for 6.5 mm enthusiasts. Brass is more readily available for the 6.5 Creedmoor and the 6.5-284. They both work with the existing bolt face from the 270 Win. The 6.5 PRC requires the same bolt face as common magnums like the 7mm Rem Mag & the 300 Win Mag. Have fun with your project. [/QUOTE]
