Just shot it out to 1200 yards and the groups were unbelievable. Not much higher recoil, so it's easy to watch your shot impact. It will be going on an antelope hunt this Fall, but the ballistics are also comparable to the old 270 so I would not hesitate hunting big game with it. So I won't be taking the 6BR out long range any time soon.
