[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1278160, member: 13632"] You'll pay an increasing price in recoil as you go up the cals, I shoot them all and have no real one that sticks out over all, I've dumped many elk beyond 800 yards with 6.5's, some of my longest kills on elk are with 270's, we taco them with big 300's and 338's so I find it real hard to blanket statement one better than another. Interestingly I built the one and only 7mm any of our crew shoots, all have dropped 7mm's for 6.5 or 270's or 338's. Rich will have a 338 Sherman soon too set up with a 250 Berger that should be an awesome set up as well. So many ways to skin it but I would definitely give mag length a serious consideration cause it's a big factor. [/QUOTE]
