[QUOTE="Jerry D, post: 1866121, member: 14452"] Thanks for feedback everyone. The reason I asked is two fold. I am looking for a short action cartridge for a custom hunting gun with a 20" barrel. My ideal cartridge is a 7mm08 for its balance of velocity, sd, bc, diameter and low recoil. Wish it was more popular! I live in an area where you cant hunt coyotes with anything .270 or larger, so even a .270 win is actually larger and not allowed That then leads me down to the 6.5cm. Barrel life isnt as good, little smaller frontal area but higher bc and sd, nice recoil, little slower off the hop, but popular! Due to the restriction, I feel a 6.5 is my best option or have 2 guns but that isnt in the cards right now. The .308 is a great round, just prefer something with a tad less recoil but will reconsider it due to barrel life, popularity, and larger bore and effecincy in a 20" barrel. .308 with 150s or 165s max I would think. Thanks everyone. Rifle specs Apollo lite action 20" rem mag sporter contour Ag privateer stock Hawkins bdl Triggertech special [/QUOTE]
