There are no rules, only guide lines. Think in terms of case capacity x bullet weight.

Personally, I would still go 6.5 and limit your range to under 500 or there abouts. Its a hell of a long way. Then when you have grown in confidence and competence move up to something like 280 or 7mm rem magnum if you want to start stretching things.

For me, my next size up is 300 rem mag, but its a step too far if you are just getting started.

Mine is only one opinion though. Plenty on here know more than I do (and some don't). You will just have to sort through the bull shit
