[QUOTE="highdrum, post: 2072091, member: 13732"] Depends on your desire of efficiency. Ballistically efficient? A 7mm is def more efficient in thag regards. 7 saum with 180 hyb @ 2900+ with mid 64ish powder charge, cannot be equaled in a 30 cal till you get to 300wm with 215s @ 2900+ with a 77ish powder charge and a LOT more recoil. So a case with 73gr cap vs a case with 88gr cap to match each other. Granted the charge to bore size ratio is almost the same, so barrel life will be similar, however the cost to load and shoot the 7mm will be cheaper and the recoil noticeably less. I'm not a 7 fan, like at all really. I've owned over 50 bolt guns, and had over a dozen semi custom or full custom. Only 2 have been 7mm, a 7 max that doesn't live to Richs advertised abilies, and now the 7-300prc. I much prefer sleek 6.5s from short mags for long range target, deer and antelope. The for elk, I like big 30s and 338s. The 7mm fits a role where it does a few of the tasks very well, and okay at a few others, it's a tweenee that does work for everything, but doesn't excel with big bodied critters.
