[QUOTE="Michael O'Connor, post: 1390227, member: 103722"] You have to beat the wind with higher velocity and lower B.C. .257" bullets. .264" bullets beat the 1/4 Bore in all ways like the 7mm beats 308 in wind by recoil. Granted, we are talking about hunting rifles. Recoil actually is a component of accuracy with lighter rifles. The 6.5 and 7mm are the greatest in their power realm for long range. It also depends if you want to spend extra money for a custom high B.C. bullet. I have not seen any manufacturer come out with a high B.C. .257" or .277" bullet that can compare ballistically better than 6.5 or 7mm bullets. 308 is not that favorable either because of incumbent recoil over the 7mm in North American game animals. I wouldn't hesitate to use a 30 Nosler or 300 RUM on Elk or Moose long-range; I just don't care for the recoil in a lightweight type rifle anymore. [/QUOTE]
