[QUOTE="Tactical, post: 266959, member: 1903"] Guys, a few things to consider Just because a bullet has great BC does not mean it is always best choice The 6mms are great to hit things but dont have much smack when it comes to downing live things. The 7mm and 30 cals are hard to beat when they hit most live things Now I saw alot of figures here and ask this. What happens when you drive that 210SMK 3000 fps out of a 300WM? Anser is simple it stays just about side by side with a 338 Lapua to 1500 yards or so. Now why larger bores are for a couple of reasons. Everything being equal they tend to have longer bbl life 338 Lapua has longer bbl life than hot 300WMs 300WMs have longer bbl life than 7Mags 7Mags have longer life than hot 243s with heavies In end you need to get penetration and dump energy. The larger bores seem to do that better. Just my opinion. [/QUOTE]
