[QUOTE="John Polk, post: 1736718, member: 109560"] Shep, this is the silliest argument I've been in years. There is virtually no ballistics difference between any of the similar cartridges we are discussing. For appropriate size game I would be very happy to hunt with an appropriate 6.5 mm rifle. The reason that I don't is I have several rifles which they are so close in caliber they make little ballistics difference. For hunting I choose the rifle I believe is most appropriate to the circumsrances I will encounter on the hunt. There is a world of difference between a 6.5 Creedmore and a 6.5-.300 Weatherby. To lump the 2 of them together just because they have the same bore diameter is silly. Usually I prefer to hunt while elk with a .300 Weatherby using a 210 grain Nosler Accubond long range bullet launched at 3000 fps. That should satisfy any long range requirement. On occasion, depending on the circumstances, I will use either my .30-06 or my .338 Win. BAR. If you want hunt them with something else have fun. My argument is that almost all of these cartridges are so similar that no game animal could ever discern the difference with which one they are struck. To say a 140 grain 7 mm bullet is vastly superior to a 130 grain .270 bullet of identical construction launched within 100 fp of each other is absurd. This is a tempest in a teapot and I'd rather have a cup of coffee. [/QUOTE]
