[QUOTE="thinair, post: 1718473, member: 109077"] There is not only relatively new 6.5 beast cartridge in the game (prc), but also brand new 156 grain burger eol. Can be run in 3000fps range, which at 8000ft elevation and 600 yards, still has 2426 fps and 2039 energy left. Talk about sweet grain size (not too much for deer, and not too little for elk), and amazing sectional density (0.32). Mild recoil, wind cheater, with a big punch. People already having amazing results on deer, and will post elk results soon (season is around corner). I keep mentioning 600 yards as OP said its the max range for hunting. I honestly would get something like 6.5 creed, and run 156gr, at like ~2700ish mv (@600 yards 2160fps and 1616 energy left). Get a good muzzle break (or really good can) and recoil is in 11.5 ft/lb range if rifle is 7lbs. Thats a recoil of 243 Win 7.25 lbs shooting pills 95gr at 3100 without a break. It is safe to say, thats not having recoil pretty much at all. Can spot your own shots, stay on target, and practice all day long. [/QUOTE]
