[QUOTE="Hondo64d, post: 2256352, member: 1390"] I don’t disagree with anything he said but wish he would have paid more credence to wind drift. With today’s laser rangefinders and precise turrets, range is easy to deal with. Wind, on the other hand offers a bunch more variables and any advantage a cartridge has in wind drift is welcome. He also doesn’t really talk about the overall package. Trajectory, wind drift, recoil, and barrel life. For most folks, a 7mm Rem Mag or similar is about all the recoil they can shoot well without developing a flinch. I personally like a balance of recoil, wind resistance, barrel life and availability. I like shooting one cartridge exclusively because it makes me intimately familiar with its data. For me, that’s the 6.5 Creedmoor. This business about cartridge X being flatter than cartridge Y…. Who cares? John [/QUOTE]
