[QUOTE="Gone Ballistic, post: 2001875, member: 26477"] I have a 7mmRemMag that I now use for my number one hunting rifle and also have a 6.5 Creedmoor. I truly believe that a whitetail is harder to kill than any elk I have killed ( and I have taken many). Elk seem to get the full shock and drop when hit but, I haven't found any bullet out there that gives the same effect on a whitetail, as most travel many yards even with a heart shot. A 600yd shot with a Tika is difficult and you have to get the rifle settled tightly before taking the shot. I would shoot both rifles at 600yds until the groups make the decision for you. [/QUOTE]
