[QUOTE="RetiredSniper, post: 1780141, member: 82005"] 6.5 is not king in my book! As I was told by a real Gunsmith and long range shooter, "the 6.5 does not have the weight and girth to to kill large game at longer ranges." I will stick with my 308 (7.62X51) which I have been shooting since I was in the Army in 1969. With the right bullet (168 grain Hornady B.T.S.P.H.P.) and the right powder you can take large game out to 900 meters. [/QUOTE]
