When in doubt make it stout" I Love 6.5mm cartridges. They are all great. From the Grendel, Creed, .260, 6..5 rem mag. 264 win, 6.5/06, 6.5 PRC to the 26 Nosler but If I'm after a trophy I leave them in the safe and grab my Kliengunther 300 Weatherby Mag. Why? Because the furtherst I have ever tracked the 100+ animals I've taken with it is about a foot! DRT! Dead! Deer, Elk, Hogs, Black Bear, Aoudad, Caribou all dead right there! When your out there spending big bucks for a quality hunt I don't ever go Under Gunned.
