I looked at the LR Hunter, but I would consider them a stand rifle, not a packing rifle. Shooting at game to 300, I chose the 260 with 125 Noslers. To 600, my 7mmRM will be shooting 150 Noslers at 3240.

I'll put a different spin on the 6.5-06. I had my barrel throated for 140 SMK, so I can hit 3200, 3070, and 2935 with 120, 129, and 140 (24"barrel).
