Default RE: Good long-range deer calibers.

I havn't seen much mention of the 260 remington or 6.5mm Swedish. these calibers are deadly accurate in 140 grain loads and don't kick like mules. There must be a reason that many of the bench rest shooters are going to 6.5mm. Blazing speed isn't needed for long range shots, besides you don't get much meat form an animal shot with a 140 grain bullet going 3300fps, as with the various 7mm mag loads.
