[QUOTE="toddc, post: 1278116, member: 4566"] A 6.5 or 277 will NEVER equal a 7mm for killing power or LRH. You can play with the numbers all you want but a 280 Sherman spitting a 175 ELD-X at 3k will slaughter any other choice. A 6.5-06AI is a fun rig and I have had a few as predator/deer rigs. For a deer/larger rig the 7mm bore is light years ahead of the smaller stuff. The 270 would be better but it is still hamstrung by bullet selection, if your build doesn't like the 170EOL WHAT NOW? Recoil? BRAKE! Both of your smaller choices are NEAT rounds but practically, a 7mm will walk away from them in nearly every category especially in killing power. [/QUOTE]
