[QUOTE="wbm, post: 872474, member: 14158"] Thanks for the comparison. The venerable 30-06 is by far the most efficient of the group. I ran some data using a long barrel, modern chamber 6.5x55 with a 140gr Berger VLD G7=313 @2750fps. It did a bit better at 600 than any of the three 30 calibers...but only to 600. The 168gr 7MM Berger G7=.316 running at 2950fps puts them all in the dirt at 1000. The 180gr 7MM Berger G7=.345 running at 2900fps leaves no doubt as the the superiority of the 7MM bore size over the 30. Guess that's why the .284 and .264 bore sizes have been showing up with higher frequency in the last few years. [/QUOTE]
