[QUOTE="CTK, post: 1383196, member: 103842"] Not sure why Lapua will not offer a few more 7mm's. I would think they would sell more 7 Rem Mag. or 280AI cases than they would 6.5 Grendel. I recently sold a 280AI and will have another 7mm built soon. I am a big fan of the 6.5's and will continue to hunt my 6.5 often. The mid power 7's strike me as a totally different class of rifle. I have killed as many Elk with 6.5's as I have 7mm's (none). I hear that 6.5 performance is fine for long range Elk and Mule Deer. My future Elk hunts will be few and far between. I am more comfortable with a faster and heavier bullet for big critters. Frankly I am more comfortable with a bigger rifle than the 6.5x47 for long range Whitetail. The recoil difference is a non-factor for me in a hunting situation. Why not have a little more gun than needed sometimes? The new thing seems to find the lightest cartridge that can get the job done. Bullet technology improvements have obviously made this pursuit possible. To each is own.... I may be a dinosaur.
