[QUOTE="Brewer, post: 1189519, member: 71923"] Its been a while since I posted. I have a 300wm and a 6.5-06 AI. They are different tools for different jobs. I love them both. I shoot the Ackley much more now because its more comfortable to shoot and its more accurate. I have not done any LRH with the Ackley but If I were going hunting say Elk at 1000 yards I would take the 6.5 because I am more comfortable with it, the glass is better and I just like it better. of course if I had a 338 and I was most comfortable with that, Id take it instead. Funny story. last December I was with a buddy in my blind and he was shooting my 300wm and I had taken my 5.56 AR with for fun. well we saw a herd of deer so we decided to fill a few tags. I shot a running doe at 200 yards with a 55gr full metal jacket in the hind quarter. It ran 30 yards more. While butchering I found the bullet under the hide of the front quarter after going through gut, liver, and lung. not a fun gutting job. But the point im trying to make is that when I shoot something with my 300wm, they fall down and die (usually) but the .223 got the job done too. :):) [/QUOTE]
