[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1243196, member: 30902"] Pretty well said. There is a point of diminishing returns with the respect to case size and bullet caliber. After thirty plus years of shooting 7mm's I decided the 7mm STW was the break point between velocity and practicality. The 7mm RUM is a proven barrel burner and even with the highest quality barrels and barrel treatments I can't imagine trying to put a 6.5mm bullet in front of 90gr's or more powder. Nobody I know is making 6.5 bullets designed for the kind of velocities that much powder will generate. I love my .264wm and got excited about the 26 Nosler but the longer I thought about it the more I knew that in the long run the benefits just didn't justify the expense. I have 3 .260 Rem's and they make a lot more sense. [/QUOTE]
