[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 236509, member: 10"] Long450, The 6.5mm WSM is a great chambering for medium to big game in both rifle and handgun. Its best as a big game chambering where shooting volume will be somewhat limited moreso then a target, comp or varmint chambering. This is simply because of barrel life. The 7mm WSM is another great choice for an XP. The larger bore will allow more velocity with same bullet weights or same velocity with slightly heavier bullet weights. Ballistically, would be hard to tell one from another but I would think that with the 180 gr VLD in the 7mm, it would have a slight edge in ballistic performance at longer ranges. Still, the heavier bullet produces more recoil which is really of no concern with the muzzle brakes we use on these handcannons so do not let that stop you. Simply put, if you want a bit more barrel life and perhaps a bit more terminal performance on larger game, the 7mm WSM would be a better choice but its suprising how impressive the 6.5mm version is.
