[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 1607892, member: 30671"] It depends on what you consider light for caliber, a bit on what and how you hunt. Keep any of them at 1800 fps at the target, and things should work out. Steve tends to be a Maximum Point Blank kind of hunter, and keeping velocity high enough to hold hair farther out is usually part of his recommendation. Mono's are longer for the same weight, and consideration to magazine length, and rate of twist are a part of the process. Terminal performance is consistent, but the Sledge Hammers seem like they add to the picture if you don't need a ballistic profile. Depending on magazine length the 174 .308 in the 3.34" magazine length seems to be working for folks. I think the 120's in the 6.5/.260's seem to be a good choice. I use the 124's in my .260. Although I have the 99 grains in a slower twist short, shorter magazine 6.5-.284, that I haven't shot, but mock up well. [/QUOTE]
