I'm no expert I just sleep near a Holiday inn. Look at Hornady's .300 PRC. Then the .28 nosler.

28 Nosler. Easy choice and will shoot very high BC bullets faster than the others.
If you want something to shoot flatter than anything out to about 400 yards, a 257 Weatherby would be a great choice. It will still get it done beyond 400, but the trajectory and wind drift really become a factor because of the low BC bullets in that caliber compared to the others.

From the ones you mentioned; I’d go with the 28nos. The numbers on that caliber are very impressive. I had a Cooper built in 28nos. Other choices would be the 26nos or 257 Roy. I just happen to have a 26nos for sale.

No one has said it. 6.5 Creedmoor.

Flat trajectory really doesn't matter as long as you know your caliber and have a good scope with some type of moa reticle you familiarize yourself to.
Two roads diverged in the woods and I took the one with deep ruts,hills and mud.It may be bumpy but WHAT A RIDE!

There are plenty of good ballistic calculators out there. Play with them. You can change caliber and specific round. Pretty easy to see what's flat. Most will also give good info on energy and such. I do suggest that you also consider avail9, price, recoil, and what it actua6does when it hits a deer. Of course also consider what model gun you like and what its available in.

6.5 prc and save yourself a lot of shoulder punishment mauvilla. Ya I would tend to agree. 6MM , 6.5MM & 7MM is what's perfect for most. Something between a 257Wby on the small end and a 7MM WBY Mag at the top end. 257WBY, 6.5-285, 26Nos 6.5-300Wby, 7MM Rem, 7MM WBY, 28Nos
