God knows that I love a "new" cartridge and God also knows that every year I have been able to procure these cartridges I have tried in vain to find the "perfect" rifle/cartridge combination for the majority of my big game hunting (85% deer, 15% everything else - no big bears) and have concluded, based on these last 45 years that a 6.5 caliber would accomplish all that I need to have done give or take a caliber or two
I see no real world advantage to any caliber over another at the distances I shoot game (contrary to Scott's opinion of 53 yards out to about 400 yds or so). That all said, in my attempt to find this perfect combination I have accumulated my equivalent of a 401K
so I could be worse!! I am all for a B-24.5 - would that be a 6.5 Remington Magnum necked to .250 caliber? could use 25ACP bullets for minimal pelt damage
