Zeke 5,504 Posted June 30, 2017 I implore your ballistic knowledge and wisdom. or should I ask in precision sub forum? Thinking ruger, but have one rifle in 7 rem mag. Is 6.5 jus better? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T Bill 649 Posted June 30, 2017 For what? Targets only, the 6.5CM is a better choice. Less powder, less recoil, longer barrel life. Add medium game hunting to the mix then the 7MM deserves consideration. So need to know what the main usage is. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T Bill 649 Posted July 1, 2017 6.5 CM or 6 CM then, best results obtained with handloads. Nobody is going to sit behind a 7MM RM for paper tigers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rob0115 1,107 Posted July 2, 2017 I do it with 300 win mag sometimes. However I do have a 6.5x47L, 6mmAR and will probably do my next bolt in 6x47l. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
