Well, I used my $450 Savage 6.5 creedmoor, with a $125 Nikon prostaff 3-9x50, one shot with 140 grain Sierra gameking, so I like it as much as my old swedish that I got so many animals with.

Short action cartridges based off any of these parent cases: 250 Savage, 6.5 Creed, or 308 will do the job at 500 yards on deer if the shooter knows what he/she is doing. The limitation is not the cartridge, as much as it is the user. Of course, the weapon has to have certain accuracy levels for 500 yards, but most of your modern rifles (not all) are capable. The other unknown is conditions. Terrible wind conditions can shut anything down. Hunting or shooting at distance is a systems approach, of which the user is a very important part.

This 284 Winchester center-grip XP-100 has the rifle performance of a 7-08.
Just playing around with a bi-pod and small field bag.
You will see wind get me at 600 yards (10" steel).
That is why you practice in wind!

Was thinking of a long range bolt rig..........and what did I do today?
Snag an old Rem 14 in .35 rem.
Not gonna pay premium for a peep.
Might have an adapter made for some other Williams.
I'll run my 760 w Leupold 4X as my primary buck slayer next yr.
The iron sighted 14 for antlerless.

I have been toying with the idea of getting a 300 wsm.
