   7mm magnum or 300wm would in a stainless Tikka would be my pick. Yes there are new fancy cartridges that will do it marginally better, but the trade-off of is higher ammo cost, ammo/brass...

   Agreed, even though i have successfully shot deer at over 500m with my creedmoor, i certainly wouldnt recommend it, just because it can doesnt mean its a good idea or the right tool for the job. ...

   That is all completely true, but neither is a 500 yard cartridge. At even 400 (metres) energy and velocity have dropped so that the wound channel is not that big in diameter, so combined with the...

   Agreed. A 270, like all the other non magnum loadings is really only a 400 metre rifle max imo

   Yeah none because a .270 is NOT a LR rifle . Full stop.

   I do find it interesting how quick people are to bag out a creedmoor but will stand by a .270 as being a great "stop anything in its tracks" cartridge. Not having a go at the old .270 by any means...

   Depends if you are an experienced shooter or not as to what caliber. As far as light weight goes, a large caliber that has good ballistics for extended ranges is going to kick, the lighter the rifle...

    Best advice find someone with some practical experience of shooting long range for years. Not targets but dead deer. Someone who reloads and knows about ballistic coefficients and down range ft/lbs...

    This is a silly argument. If the cartridge can deliver an appropriate projectile with enough energy at your intended range to penetrate and expand reliably giving a clean ethical kill then it's a...

    Agree 100% I own 2 magnums and crave a smaller case as I tend to take shots from 50-300 yrds

    SDP has had a 300 wsm for sale before asking 'what cal for 500'. I would have thought that was the right gun myself, perhaps just needs a suppressor ????? In all reality no one has to shoot deer at...
