[QUOTE="Lee Goodwin, post: 1724996, member: 107289"] "I guess I want a valid argument (I hope you win) as to why any caliber out there is better than the 7 mag, because the more I try new things, the more I get pulled back to my 7." 50 BMG might kill, destroy bigger stuff so that would be fun. 458 Winchester might be fun, load it up and load it down... 338, would be fun, you walk with a swagger in elk camp carrying on of them bad boys. 300 Winchester, ah, lots of recoil, a real man's .308... 30.06, lots of history, venerable....would they design it today? 7mm REM mag, now there's a flat shooting, .284 projectile that zips through the air with a BC so high you don't need weed. 270, poor stepped on step child...150 grain Nosler partition going 2800....hmmm Then there's the genius of marketing and I gotta have me that new fuggin rifle cause the new machines make better, tighter stuff these days, and, gosh darn it that 7mm crushes my old arthritic shoulder, don't mind the pain on a hunt, but, practice sucks... So, what is this new fangled 6.5 PRC...? High BC bullets, fat short case that might just fit in a short action mountain rifle, and, it does good on a 24 inch barrel? Maybe 22 inch? Where can I try me one of them, ballistics like a 300 WM? No? Recoil like a 30.06 ? Or less? God bless? I gotta try me one of them.... I wonder if I can sneak it past the Mrs? Make it look like my 7mm....sprinkle some dirt and chicken feathers on it.? Dang I like new stuff, can't have too many knives or rifles... 6.5 PRC (people's republic o China?) How much is ammo?
