   90% of people couldn't reliably shoot animals over 200m in a hunting situation so for someone who isn't reloading, using a rangefinder and a chart there is really no appreciable difference between...

   My opinion is that it actually does make a difference. Here's why: 308 factory loads better long range (over 250m) as flatter shooting. 6.5 better in every other way due mainly to less recoil,...

   I was in a similar situation so bought 1of each and never looked back. If I had bought my Sako in 6.5 I doubt I have got a 308

    You could use the same argument for using a gun over a knife when hunting wild game.

    Recent? Pretty sure the permit conditions have said "no hunting during the hours of darkness" for at least the last decade or so. Or are you talking about using thermal gear in daylight?

    I took a rich Canadian guy out hunting and he had a thermal camera, it was pretty easy to identify the animals so I don't think you would mistake a person for a deer that easily. It was cool seeing...

    I use boring old 120gr Pro Hunters out of my 6.5 at a glacial speed of 2550. Still kills reds dead, lungs, neck or head.

    Inside 400yds or so the 130gn SST, out of a 6.5x55 will do just fine. Big reds are not hard to kill clean if you get the shot right to start with.
