The L579 is the one i have . it was made in the late 60"s (67). the L57 was before that. mine are awesome.

the distance you can be successful is more determined by the size of groups you can shoot. i would the think the rifle is as capable as the scope. if the rifle is capable get a 4.5-14 or a 6.5-20 and put on it.

what great shooting , pics and memories!!

MK- the partitions generally do not shoot small groups as other bullets. for me they have been awesome game bullets. i would use a light bullet . you are at the heavy end. my buddy has a sendero 7stw killed over 40 with the 120 sierra. the ones i would try - first 140 berger , second 140 berger, then in no particular order 140 balistic tip , 140 partiton, 139 hornady btsp

Mk - what partition were you using in what rifle? i would consider 140 7mm bergers also .

Hunter- what rifle and cartridge? my experience is they do just great, and are the most accurate bullet also.

real nice bucks. what rifle/loads did you use?

it is the barrel/gun not the twist. i used a 1-12 twist 243 to win my first 1000 yard match. i have several 1-10 twist .243 they do great with 100 grain horn and sierras.

berger will email it. what rifle? i tried to get them to shoot in a remington 700 vls. no good groups with the 95 bergers.

sinclair? midway? graf?? hornady?

i don't shoot a bow any more . not sure how 600 yards with a 30-06 compares to a certain distance with a bow (90yards??). it takes a good everything ( trigger ammo rifle scope ect) for 600 yards. i have shot against guys shooting a factory 30-06 in competion at 600 yards. their success depended on all of those things. in no particular order.

caliber is 30-06 . what rifle??

COUES MAGNET- the partition is a great hunting bullet. my wife shot an elk with a 95 grain partition in .243. i have several rifle that shoot real good, none shoot the parttion into little groups at 100 or further. since i shoot in competition i shoot both match bullets and hunting bullets. the 167 scenar is a good one. many use for hunting. also the berger 168 would be the first one i would try. the others metioned some good ones too. the higher bc will give you less drop and wind drift. as much as i like the partition . in my guns it won;t shoot a good enough groups at long ranges that i can rely on it for that. my last bull elk was killed with a 180 partition. 26 yards.

camera ,knife , water, boolit , headlamp, matches/lighter , light latex gloves ; a little food if there are no pears.

i have a remington 700 vssf. i would not use either of those. either the ones first coues mentioned or additionally the 60 balisitic tip or the 63 grain sierra semiptd. the 60 grain partition would be my first choice.

Enjoy.

what make of 260? nice shooting

Awesome!! what rifle/caliber?

First- Yes. i have a 10mm i have fired a little. i am older now and can't see factory sights so until i put a red dot or holo i would not be able to be accurate very far with the 10mm. my 357 6" 586 has worked for me for years. i have confidence in it . flatter and more accurate than a .40 ( unless you some 4k$ unlimited comp ). .357 not as many shots. will a 40 do it ? . i am sure many on here have used them successfully. i would use the one that shot the best groups at either 25 or 50 yd.

First- in the 80's the federal 125 was THE round for law enforcement. lot of data showed it worked real good. i just loaded to equal it. also energy = mass X veloctiy squared or something like that. up the velocity the energy goes up a lot. also, the 158 good on penetration, little or no expansion. 140's were not common then. also while i shot a buddies gold cup and it was pretty accurate; i think it is hard to get an auto to shoot 1-1.5" at 50 yd. just my opinion and experience.

I have killed 8 javs with my 586. 125 rem sjhp . some fairly close. one was 90 yd , one was 100 yd, and one was 127 yd. also killed some coyote, fox , and 3 deer with it. some with original factory sights some with a 1.5 -4 scope on it.

KWP - i have two 6.5-284s . both on rem actions. a long action 700/721 would work good. . my sendero weight 6.5-284 (8.5lb) i have shot in long range matches but it does kick, brakes are not allowed. . GReat as a hunting rifle for coues and i have shot coyotes with it also. the idea of a "go to coues rifle " and "a rifle for a first time hunter ", it is not a .243 class recoil , instead very close to a .270 , but with the addition of a brake it could be . i have shot out to 600 yd in matches it does quite well. my 17 pound single shot is better for that though. decisions decisions. enjoy. ron

Kwp- it takes a rebarrel not just rechamber.. new barrel 318$ , chamber and thread 150-175 $ total near 500 plus a wait . if you go with a chrome moly barrel you still have add a bluing charge too,. you could just buy a rem 700 adl varmint from dicks with a scope for 499 . 243 or 22-250. A stainless adl from sportsmans for about the same. ( if the 270 is a 700 i would rebarrel IT to 6.5-284 ). also the 721 is a long action , not needed for a 6.5X47 or creedmore.

Tom - i have no experience loading the 7rsaum. my brother and i both load for 300 rsaum. he uses re-19 and i use varget. 168 cbt. both shoot .4"-.5" . we consider that great since our the rifles are less than 6 lbs. i am sure there is data in nosler , hornady , sierra and sierra manuals for a 168 grain bullet.
