[QUOTE="mnoland30, post: 1907281, member: 29323"] I love my 7mm's, but if I were buying a rifle now, it would be a 6.5. I can tell you that lighter bullets are much more fun to shoot. Bullet selection is fantastic, and the sectional density of the 6.5 140 gr. is about the same as the .30 cal. 180. Around .280 the lowest S.D. I'd use for elk. Berger's Extreme Outer Limits Elite Hunter 153 gr. in 6.5 has a B.C. of .679. Their best .30 cal has a B.C. of 807 (wow) but weighs 245 gr. For me to shoot a bullet that heavy out of a magnum, would require a muzzle brake. It would also require a fast twist barrel. [/QUOTE]
