    What to buy? 6.5 CRM?

    Not really sure what i need , as I 've always hunted with my trusty 30/30 but as of late have got the itch to try something with a little more long range..
    can I ask for suggestion?

    Thanks

    uhhhh, you're gonna have to give us SOME kind of criteria lol.
    edit: Without any info I'm gonna say 28 Nosler or maybe 257 Wby Mag or 6.5 PRC.

        Anything that doesn't have a belted case.

          For deer and hogs I'd say the .270WSM is a pretty good one. Long range and not terrible recoil.

            I had a 270 WSM and really loved that thing, regret selling it.

                If you are hunting open lands then 6.5 is fine. Heavy timber and brush you want a more stable robust bullet. By that I mean one that will crash thru small limbs and weeds and not start to tumble. Long skinny bullets that are more bottom weighted don't like to have their flight path disrupted. Now if'n you are recoil sensitive you might want one dem girly boy guns

                  Shot my first deer with one when I was 13. Doe at 275 yards. Just put her in the crosshairs and squeezed the trigger. To me at that time what I had just done was easy and that's how it was. Later on in life I realized how flat shootin that cartridge really is.

                    Last animals I shot with mine were Antelope. That season it slayed a doe just over 500, doe at 470 and change, and the buck was in the low 300's. All one shot kills in the vitals. That round is just beautiful.

                        I’ve been shooting a 270 wsm for about 9 years and really like it. Ammo is fairly easy to find and everything I aim at is drt.

                          Apparently 300 blk will kill literally anything up to and including the big 5. Maybe look at that.

                            Please expound. I would like to hear your reasoning here.

                              Same here. My 8 year old shot a nice 9 point with my 270 WSM last year. Straight to the dirt, didn't take a step.
