[QUOTE="LVJ76, post: 2286276, member: 108965"] Hey Steve, I'd go with the 6.5 PRC. I like a little weight and energy on my bullets for longer range, but that's me. You already have a .224 caliber rifle and I don't see a 22 CM carrying enough energy for a fast kill at longer ranges. Yes, speed kills, but energy also plays a part in the equation. The 6 CM will have 1,000 ft/lbs of energy at around 550 yds depending on altitude, after that it'll be good for varmints only. Your 7mm-08 already with several bullets can reach to 700 yds with 1,000 ft/lbs of energy and 1,800 fps still. Of the 3 choices you listed, the 6.5 PRC is the best option for longer range hunting. For target and steel either will work but for hunting that won't be the case. Hope this helps in your decision. Luis [/QUOTE]
