I feel most hunters looking at a long range set up should really consider the 6.5/284.They possibly should even take this over a 300 Mag to have less recoil. High BC of .522 or better for a 140 gr bullet at 3000fps.Relatively low recoil.

I am considering this setup for my 140 pound son for long range.He is definitely not into recoil and magnum rounds.

In 30 cal I like the 300 Ultra with 200 gr Nosler partitions.My rifle loves 'em!!I have harvested an elk at a lasered 459 yards(2 witnesses)under perfect shooting conditions. I have also passed on 250 yard shots with swirling winds and steep angles.Every shot is unique!

I have a 338-378 Wby that is close but just not as accurate as the 300 ultra at longer ranges with 250 gr Nosler partition bullets. I guess want a higher BC and decent velocity than the 300 ultra 200grnr's and don't want to go to the 300 gr pills.

May have to get rid of this rig and get a 338 lapua hunting(not target) setup---
