Thread: Calibre, Rifle & Scope Sugestions For Longer Range Hunting

If you say 500yds once you have done that you will want to extend further. So a bit of grunt will be required. The 08 based cases might not hack it.

I actually think that one of the best cases for a balance of knock down and tolerable recoil is the 270wsm with a 140-150 grn bullet, zipping along at 3.1/3.2k fps. They go just fine with a 22" barrel and a suppressor and are easy to get to shoot. Tikka or Xbolt, take your choice. Always seems to be factory ammo available if you don't hand load. A really good middle ground cartridge.
