[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1459209, member: 74902"] I would look at the Browning Hells Canyon. Believe they make 2 versions of it. One is more dedicated to long range. Think I'm the only guy who posted that actually shoots both cartridages and have for a long time. The 6.5 Creed IS the way to go. Most posters did not even consider your use of factory ammo. And the other ( always predictipal ones are even suggesting you go for a wildcat. LOL) The Blackjack bullet maynot even become reality and if it does there may/ maynot ever be a hunting version of the bullet. Anyway... If you are gonna be hunting SD. You'll want the 6.5 Creed. It just does better in the wind and Hornady makes some very good 129 Gr. SST hunting ammo for it. I was shooting some of it last month and doing very well with it at 640 yards. You will be has pressed to find factory 25-06 ammo that can hang with that. I have a kills at 375 and 463 yards with the 25-06 and 463 was pushing it. The Creed will do better with a heavier high BC bullet. Why not just use the 7mm in SD and not worry about any of this? You also have the 243 for closer stuff? [/QUOTE]
