[QUOTE="Buffalobwana, post: 2766954, member: 123662"] Chat forums tell me 20"-22" 7mm PRC is a great choice!! Same forums trash a 20" 7 Rem Mag. Once an idea is established in the halls of the chat forums, it might as well have been brought down from the mountain on a stone tablet. Is it bc the 7mag barrel length debate is well established in chat as gospel, but any new chambering is open to interpretation to justify our own selection bias? (Aka, I “need” a 20” 7mag, so this shiny new thing will work perfectly!) 20 years ago a .308 would have been considered a marginal choice for Elk, now the 6.5 CM is a perfect 600 yard Elk gun. I argue that good marketing persuaded chat forum users to establish this “fact”. After all, nobody was running around yelling that the 260 Rem was the perfect 600 yard Elk rifle. (Everyone knows 260 Rem > 6.5 CM … 🙂) So, can someone explain why a 20” 7mm PRC is perfectly acceptable, but same length in a 7 Rem mag would be downright foolishness? [/QUOTE]
