That would be a good one if you are ok with:
A. Ok with buying proprietary Hornady factory ammunition to get anything near the advertised velocities (you aren't going to get them by handloading)
B. you don't plan on using bullets bigger than 165gr. (a huge consideration if you are shooting long range)

BTW, Boddington's article is full of factual errors, not that its anything new from him or other gun scribblers.

Want long range performance in something that was made for handloading and short actions and skips all of the hype and hyperbole of all of the craptastic new 'tactical' or 'supershortmagnum' cartridges? Take a look at the 6.5 Creedmoor.
