[QUOTE="Tnwhip, post: 575740, member: 32195"] When my old 25-06 barrel lost it's accuracy, I got to thinking what I needed. Another rifle or Just rebarrel to another 25-06 or something else. I wanted a little more HP. 120g is all I could get in the 25 cal. The B.C. was not great. I thought about the 6.5 long and hard. Then I kep looking at the 7mm. and went with it good B.C. buttets and could go a little heaver for a little more knock down at the longer ranges. I made it a 280 ackley. Almost as fast as a 7 mag. with less powder. Use 280 or fire form 270 brass. Cheep to reload. Means I can practice more. It is the perfect cartridge for me. The places I hunt the fields are only 600 yards. I don't have a place to practice over 500 yds. so that is my limit anyway. If you are really wanting to shoot at 1000 yards then you may need one of the magnums. What ever your needs are, get what you need.gun):) [/QUOTE]
