[QUOTE="hawk45, post: 945512, member: 27634"] Both fantastic rounds, but unless you are planning on hunting with a big heavy varmint rig, I think a hunting rifle and a target rifle are two totally different builds. A target gun can be heavier with a bigger barrel and smaller cartridge, as you are just punching paper or ringing steel. Longer strings of shooting and 50 + rounds a session. Go 6.5 here as you'll be more susceptible to fatigue with the higher volume. A hunting rifle should be lighter weight with a cartridge suitable for the game and distance you intend to use it on. 2 to 5 shots an outing. I'd lean toward the magnum cartridges over a non-magnum in this case. Go 7mm or 300WM here as you won't notice the recoil as much in the hunt and won't fatigue from just a few rounds. If you target shoot with a pencil barrel, after a few rounds you're groups will open up from the heat, unless you like to shoot 3 rd groups and wait 20 mins between groups. Ain't nobody got time for that! :-) Just my .02 [/QUOTE]
