[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 834978, member: 10291"] I'm an avid 6.5x284 shooter and have shot the 7's quite a bit as well. They will get the job done on elk with good shot placement out to 500 yards, but I think there is a noticeable difference in killing power with a heavy, high BC bullet out of the 300WM, with the ability to double the range. With a brake my 300WM has about the same recoil and shootability as my 6.5x284 but my 300WM long range rifle runs about 4-5 pounds heavier than my 10# 6.5's. Probably doesn't have to be, but for really long range I like the stable platform. This is the reason why I much prefer the 6.5 or 7's for medium game out to 1000 yards, elk to 500, particularly if I'm carrying the rifle a lot. [/QUOTE]
