[QUOTE="dmoon, post: 1372840, member: 99729"] I'll throw a vote in for the .260 as well, but I also agree with lancetkenyon that you might look at something in the 6mm range. I still regularly grab the first rifle I ever built which was a "plain old" 6mm Remington. With 105gr bullets I took a deer at 787 and a couple in the 5's. I've gone down to the 95gr bullets and shot coyotes out in the same range (never had a chance at a coyote where it was safe any farther). This would be burning just a little more powder but bullets cost a little less than the 6.5's do......just food for thought. Good luck with your quest! [/QUOTE]
