    For long shots at the point of pulling the trigger I thrust the while gun forward. Calculated out at 25fps additional speed. Flatter trajectory.

    It's for that exact reason I never oil the stock of my rifles with 3-1 oil anymore. Can't hold the buggers after the thrust. Picking them up at my feet after every shot sucks. Otherwise a 25 fps gain is being conservative.

    Back to what round. No one has mentioned (unless I missed it) one very important variable...if your thinking of going the mag root......you might just have to hand it obviously for less dollars than you paid for it.
    Mind you I’d just be handing in the barrel ah so what ever your rig make sure your action can be re-chambered in something else non magnum just in case

    PS; Use a 6.5....any variety. Once the deer see it, they usually die on the spot, they know there's no point in running..and think what you'll save on ammo.. (6.5, what every .270 wants to be..)

    600M GUN

    I hope he got a .260 as it’s the best calibre in the world. It has taken many things from Elephants, Buffalo to rabbits. I’ve seen one shoot to past 600m, it hit the rock at 629m, it rolled down the hill.
    The rabbit and the limestone rock were both from the king country- tough over that way but it was easy for the 260.
