[QUOTE="teesquare, post: 2682990, member: 56740"] If you do not want to re-load every round.....and want o use decent factory ammo...based on what you are seeking- look at the 6.5 PRC. I think the current ill will many feel when one mentions "6.5" is they instantly think you are going to say "Creedmoor" This is NOT a Creedmoor. It is a short action magnum ( I think the parent case is the .300wsm or the .300 rim...?) and the wind cutting, hard punching round is readily available and being well supported as a factory chambering now. Just for grins - look at the ballistics and compare this round for wind drift, drop, and ft/lbs. of energy @ 500 yards. Notice it bests my beloved old .300 WM...crazy but true. I was able to take a big bodied bull Elk with its in Oct. - and using a 147gt MATCH bullet from Hornady ( ELD-M ammo ). Just another option for you.... [/QUOTE]
