[QUOTE="TX Badger, post: 3073228, member: 95235"] More is always more. Bigger is bigger. That doesn't mean better. I think a better comparison would be 25cm with the heaviest factory bullets (135gr) vs the 6.5prc (which is more appropriate for driving the heaviest 6.5s at 153gr). More is more and the 6.5/prc wins hands down. But that's also more powder burnt, more recoil. Everyone has to decide how much they need/want. I like the 25s for deer because recoil is light for the performance you get. FOR ME, I want more than the 6mms and don't need the 6.5 performance. It's the same (FOR ME) if I were to ever go elk hunting. I don't see myself needing big 30cal magnum performance but I'd want more than the 6.5s offer. A 7mag of some variety seems to be the perfect balance in my mind. There are no magic calibers or cartridges, no free lunches, everything is a trade off. You have to find the compromise that makes you happiest. [/QUOTE]
