[QUOTE="Elkwonder, post: 1235195, member: 28569"] Ok I have read through a couple of threads making comparisons of these calibers, but is seems most are going off old load data for the 6.5x55 and it seems that caliber can be loaded hotter in todays rifles. I have been unable to find any info where people are reloading or have ever reloaded for more than one of these calibers so that they could give "real world" information. I am looking for an antelope and mule-deer gun, and would like to know the real skinny on these three rounds. I WILL be reloading, and the rifle WILL be a Tikka T3X with a 22.5 inch barrel if barrel length matters at all in choosing between these calibers. I am not interested in the 7mm-08 being capable of shooting larger bullets for elk hunting as I will have a 300wsm for that.... Thank you for the info. [/QUOTE]
