[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 501821, member: 505"] I love this stuff, Like a campfire at hunting camp. We are not writing books on here to fully explain everything we say. They are short blurbs that can easily be taken out of context. Picking any caliber is splitting hairs until you get to the large ones that will overwhelm small ones at long range. My 264 comment over the 7mm is splitting hairs but the 264 will give you a slight advantage because of the weight of the bullet vs BC in proportion to caliber. A 264 winchester can drive the 140 berger 100+ fps faster than a 7mm remington can push a 168 berger. BC is to close to call. Both serve the same purpose as long range caribou, deer, antelope size animal killers. Neither will push heavier bullets fast enough to gain any advantage within the optimum range of the cartridge. Same with the 6.5 STW vs the 7mm STW. The 6.5 stw will push the 140 berger 100+ fps faster than the 168 berger in 7mm stw. The 30 and 338 calibers have quality premium hunting bullets a hunter can drive through tough muscle and bone and still reach the vitals with higher BC's than in 7mm. When you step up to elk size game this becomes important over a bullet that tends to shed it's jacket. For elk size game this limits the 7mm unless like I said you limit yourself to particular shots. These are some of the reasons I said splitting hairs you have a slight advantage with certain calibers like the 264, 30 and 338 calibers. Assuming the discussion is ended at 338 calibers. I just like to play all the odds in my favor. As I always say a well placed shot and the animal is dead with any of them. On here with caliber debates all we have is splitting hairs that is the reason I say my 30-06 is better than your 270. NZlongranger I think we could have some good discussions. I don't have time right now to go into everything you said. By the way, good luck with the magazine. [/QUOTE]
