[QUOTE="Lou270, post: 2112606, member: 5352"] #1, You will need to handload to hit those velocities. #2, the 7WSM will kick harder. I have read that Winchester/Browning wanted to approximate 300Win/WSM 4-500 yard energy levels with the 180 Accubond with the least amount of recoil in a short action factory load. The idea being that nobody questions the use of these rounds on Elk sized critters and the 6.5 clan is popular because of their ballistics and mild recoil. You can get more power, but it comes at cost of increased recoil and/or handloading. You can also shoot heavier bullets in the 7WSM (or a wildcat equiv with faster twist) but it also comes at cost of increased recoil. That is my take anyway. I like and have a semi-custom 7WSM, but see merit of what Win/Browning doing here. Lou [/QUOTE]
