[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 346971, member: 1007"] The 7mm short mags and similar have ballistic advantages but they also generate ALOT more recoil than the 6.5x284. This will lead to recoil fatique. Many a shooters have shown up on day one and spanked everybody with a 7mm short. Then got whooped on day two due to focusing on recoil more than the shot. Hands down the best balance between recoil and minimal wind drift is the 6.5x284. If it were me and bbl life WAS an issue, I would be looking at the 260 remington. If bbl life were not an issue, I would be looking at the 6.5x284. [/QUOTE]
