[QUOTE="Ernie, post: 258715, member: 13"] "Ideal" would be based off of the 284 Win case or the 06 case. Minimum caliber would be 6mm, and then on up. I used 15.75" 284 Win XP for over a decade from pd's to elk with 1-shot kills on deer, antelope and elk beyond 350 yards. My daughter has taken deer out to 350 yards with a 6-284 XP. My 6.5-284's have done well on deer and antelope as well. There is not one ideal cartridge. If you like 7mm (I do), the a 284 Winchester, 280 Remington, or the 280 AI would be my ideal choices for the Encore-Wow, that was easy:D Now, getting set-up with a good forend, scope, etc is next. Then, choosing bullets that will work best for those distances, load development and practice from the bench and more importantly practicing from field positions. [/QUOTE]
