Those reticles, coupled with a good rangefinder have allowed me to shoot past my old comfort zone on many occasions, but still not even close to what some consider long range today. I still like horse power and will never adopt the Creedmore or similar cartridges for my hunting. The 270 and 30/06 are mild enough for me!


+1, nothing has changed the game more than the affordable electronic rangefinder. Have both a 30-06 & 6.5 CM, both work just fine but the latter sure kicks a lot less than the former.
