New to the forum, stumbled on it while googling used binoculars and seems like a knowledgeable place from what I've been reading.
I shoot a lot of PRS/NRL style matches but go on a yearly long range doe hunt with a couple of buddies. The last couple of years I've used a 6.5x47L barrel that I occasionally use at matches. The barrel is slow, 2800ish with a 135 berger classic hunter. 600 and in its not a big deal but pushing to 800 the bullet is just coming in like an artillery shell lol. Short story long I'm looking for something with more speed to keep trajectory respectable. I'd like something I could still shoot a match with and stay in the 6.5mm size. Thinking 6.5PRC, 6.5 SAUM, or even 6.5-284. Any and all comments welcome! Thanks!
