[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2462696, member: 30902"] With a perfect shot at 10 yards you can also kill an elephant with the old 6.5x55 but that doesn't mean it isn't a very anemic cartridge for long range shooting/hunting. Neither has the energy to be anywhere near as effective as the mor popular 6.5's and 7mm's such as the .264wm and 7RM. If you're never going to shoot a deer beyond 200 yards the 7mm-08 is a great little round but it is totally outperformed by half a dozen or more 7mm's in every way. [/QUOTE]
