[QUOTE="Starbuck, post: 2383229, member: 120719"] I researched the 6.8 Western. Not saying that it won't make things dead or that it's a bad cartridge, but if you look at the BC's advertised for the available bullets and then run a few scenarios through a ballistics calculator, it doesn't take much time to figure out that you're ahead with a properly twisted .284. Even the 7-08 with 180's gains on and overtakes many "long range" cartridges. A properly twisted 7 mag is a formidable big game round at virtually any range. I've ran 1:9 Remington 7mm's that did well with the Barnes 168. [/QUOTE]
