[QUOTE="SilverbulletMAG, post: 2016598, member: 108181"] Didn't initially post caliber and bullet because that skews a lot of folks decisions. No right or wrong though, and of course, dead is dead. For those curious, these are the rifle/bullet/reload muzzle velocities: [LIST=1] [*]6.5 PRC shooting 156 Berger at 2945 fps [*]Same rifle and bullet, but at only 2820 muzzle velocity (shoots a clover leaf at 200 yards at the slower speed vs. half MOA at faster speed) [*]30-06 with 212 ELDX at 2620 fps [*]6.5-300 with 127 LRX at 3440 fps [*]308 with 165 at 2775 [*]338 Win Mag with 160 Barnes TTSX at 3175 fps (B.C. on this bullet is like a brick!) [*]30-06 with 175 Berger at 2800 [*]Creed with 140 Berger at 2800 [*]Creed with 140 SST at 2825 [*]Creed with 143 ELDX at 2800 fps [/LIST] I ended up bringing the PRC, (used yesterday, performed perfect at 230yds) the 338, and 30-06/ELDX (curious about bullet performance more then anything, otherwise "overkill"). Carrying the 338/160 TTSX today actually. The Creed will get "first blood" when my daughter joins me for her first hunt next year. [/QUOTE]
