[QUOTE="Don Ward, post: 481942, member: 19118"] Can't add much to whats been posted. For me, recoil figures into the equation heavily. A cartridge that will launch a 6.5 140gr in the 3000fps neighborhood is very easy to shoot in a 9# or 10# finished rifle for me and a very effective killer. In order to shoot a big 30 and have a similar BC it requires more recoil than I care for. A break solves that, but I'm bad about getting ear protection on when hunting and they require some thought when setting up a spotter due to muzzle blast. My preference is splitting the difference with a 180gr 7mm at just under 3000fps. My guess is that if you each built the one of your choice, the end result would be a whole bunch of fun from both guns. [/QUOTE]
