[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3898298, member: 5412"] Well, I won a Ruger American at a DU banquet in the man bun 6.5 CM. First trip to the range with Lapua 108 grain Scenar HP bullets I reloaded, it printed a 3/8" three shot group at 100 yards several times, so I'm happy with the accuracy. The next part of the story will be when a deer is shot with it. With a speed of 3100 fps, I'm pretty sure it will take any deer down that bullet encounters as long as I do my job. Like you, I don't understand the mass migration away from that caliber. As we all know, it's not the caliber that kills or speed. It's the performance of the bullet and placement. Manufacturers have convinced the gun buying public that an additional 200 fps will make the gun into a laser to kill an additional thousand yards out there. The Sierra 165 grain HPBT Game King in .308 diameter does the most internal damage on a deer of any bullet I've ever seen after doing an autopsy on the carcass. Everything internally is jelly.
