Guy on the 6.5rpm thread says the 6.5 is too little for long range hunting. What says you guys on that.

This is almost completely my .260 AI with 140 Bergers, including the bull elk at the end at 714 yards.Guy on the 6.5rpm thread says the 6.5 is too little for long range hunting. What says you guys on that.

Nonsense: poke accurate holes in vital organs and your mammal target will expire. I used to chase larger more powerful magnums at the expense of bigger bullets and more powder but the elk I killed with a 338-378 arent any more deader than elk I shot with a 257 weatherby. If anything the 257 kills were more dramatic.Guy on the 6.5rpm thread says the 6.5 is too little for long range hunting. What says you guys on that.

Run a 215 Berger at 3100 and see what you get if you wanna compare energy for arguements sake.
Regardless of the energy, both will make critters into steaks accurately at long range. What a great time to be a long range shooterThat's not an apples to apples comparison. By I will run it from a 6.5 300wby and compare it. And the 215 at that speed will feel like twice the recoil.
or a real fast 230!I'm not making and arguement against any 6.5 I've shot numerous bulls with a 140 berger and they've done just fine
Throw numbers around comparing a 300 WM against a 6.5 156 at 3200 which not vary many cartridges will do.
You wanna compare some real fast 6.5 with 156 then let's compare some real fast 30's with 215
