[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 754964, member: 12995"] I would say the 7mmRemMag would have an advantage over the 260 & 6.5, based on bullet B.C. from a larger projectile, and more ammo choices. I am not very familiar with 6.5C ballistics, so I cannot give a fair comparison for that perspective. But from a purely B.C. standpoint, I'd go 7mm. As for within 750 yards I wouldn't hesitate to pull the trigger on Elk or smaller game, with my .257 Weatherby shooting my handloads loaded with 110gr Nosler Accubonds. I have several 7mmRemMags and love the 7mm calibers. They are a very nice and flat shooting round, and very potent out to 1000 yards with precision handloads. Once again, if you are interested in a large-capacity, long-range, belted-magnum caliber in the 7mm market, I would suggest the 7mmSTW. I have never been a RUM fan...Not sure why? I guess I just always thought it was overkill to be pushing such a small projectile with such a large case capacity, and looking at it from a logical standpoint, should have much larger projectiles to have that much powder, which is where the .338 LM and .338 Edge come in. A scaled-up cartridge for a larger sized projectile. They look normal, instead of looking like you loaded a broom handle into a 20mm case. :D [/QUOTE]
