[QUOTE="Coyote_Hunter, post: 1734455, member: 110773"] A .270 Win with a 150g LRAB is what I did got for Daughter #1. We hunt around 7000' altitude and at that altitude it retains 2032fps and 1376fpe at 800. Since she won't be shooting past 600 max, that is more than enough. For myself, I have a 6.5-06AI. Shooting 130g Scirocco II at 3161fps. At 800 it retains 2205fps and 1403fps and is a little gentler on the shoulder. I fire-form brass from .25-06. Both the fire-form and AI loads have been extremely accurate. I call that rifle my "600 yard clay pigeon shooter" because I've had hit rates as high as 80% when the wind wasn't blowing. These days I would strongly consider the 6.5PRC. [/QUOTE]
