You could be just a barrel, and bolt away from making that a reality.6 creed is more than enough for deer.
Shot placement matters….
6.5 and 140 eldm at normal speed drops them in their tracks at ranges past 500
Only issue with the 6BR/Dasher/GT is handloading.
6 creed you can grab ammo anywhere.
I say that as ammo can be forgotten.
I havent done that, yet…..
Here in CO, you have to use .243 or larger bullets for big game (deer, antelope, elk, etc)
Otherwise my kid would love to hunt with a 16” AR
