6.5-284
What are some opinions on this as a hunting round? Largest game it could handle and accuracy. Im not a huge gun hunter, mostly archery in the midwest but I do go on a rifle hunt from time to time. I want to have a custom rifle built and make it my one gun I use for most species. It would be for Mulies on down for the most part and is it to small for one or two elk hunts even with a premium bullet? I want to reload it to shoot one specific round throughout my rifle hunting years. Im thinking 140 grainers. What would you guys recommend. In the past I did alot of handloading so Im familiar with that and have the equiptment. Mostly all varmint calibers though. There may be better more practical rounds but I just like the 6.5. Lets hear what you guys think. Thanks in advance.
