[QUOTE="Varminator 911, post: 636208, member: 9705"] My first thought is the accuracy just won't be there and accuracy is more important than a small gain in velocity or BC. That thin of a sabot isn't going to hold up. Load the 7 RUM up with Berger's new 195 gn bullet and it will make your 6.5 bullet look sickly. The 7 RUM needs a heavy bullet to shoot well. It's not at it's best with your lighter combination. So your only potential advantage is velocity. In terms of killing power, accuracy, downrange energy, and probably wind drift the big Berger will beat anything you could do with a 6.5 sabot. [/QUOTE]
