[QUOTE="JTB, post: 1724441, member: 97196"] The 6.5s and now 25s offer a legitimate low recoil long range option for deer and elk in a 7 lb pack rifle. I love brakes but a brake won’t keep a 7 lb 7mm Mag on the target when firing. I used a 270 win/270 WSM and 300 WM for many years using 140 Accubonds and 200 gr Bergers without fail and I recently have dropped back to 6.5 for the same reason you dropped back to the 7mm. The 6.5 has also performed equally well to my surprise on both deer and elk. I can now stay on target and watch for impact without losing sight of the animal using my pack rifle. I recently built a 25 Creedmoor firing the 131 ACE at 3050. Perfect for a small pack rifle. I won’t be packing a large magnum rifle around anymore. No big brown bears where I hunt; you may have a legitimate magnum need [/QUOTE]
