[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1260751, member: 2736"] I hope all of this "Good" information has not confused you. We tend to get into deep discussions and debates sometimes but normally everyone learns something. As you can tell ether cartridge will be good for what you want. Look at the pro's and con's of each and decide. you cant go wrong with ether. There will always be faster cartridges and slower cartridges and also favorite cartridges of each member. Doesn't mean one is right and everyone else is wrong, just that's there favorite. For low recoil and good ballistics they are both great cartridges. There has also been a lot of discussions about twist rates. My recommendation would be to go with a twist rate that will handle "All" bullet weights accurately and not one that is designed for only the biggest bullets or the lightest bullets. if you intend to hand the rifle down, normally youths start with the lighter bullets for recoil reasons and you may want to shoot the heaviest bullets So a 1 in 9 will handle all bullet weights in 6.5 and 7mm and you wont be locked down to a certain bullet. Keep it simple and you wont regret it. Most 6.5's and 7 /08's will handle deer sized game to 800 yards and targets to 1200 yards with great success so you are in good company with ether. Just getting back on track with OPs question. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
