[QUOTE="bigbrother, post: 426809, member: 1813"] IMO, even though I'm a little partial to the 6.5 I would use the 7WSM if you're planning on shooting the 180 Berger out of it. While .04 doesn't seem like a lot, it starts to make a difference 700 yards and further. I also think pushing the 180 at 2800 is a little optimistic with 284 case out of the barrel lengths you're looking at. IF you were pushing the 180 vs the 140 at the same velocity you would most certainly notice a difference at long range in killing "power". This being said, it completely depends upon what you are shooting at and how far realistically you want to shoot it. If you're talking smaller sized deer targets and smaller under 1000 yards, take your pic and make the most accurate gun you can. If you're talking larger deer and up at 1000 yards and over, I think you should look at something completely different. [/QUOTE]
