[QUOTE="FIGJAM, post: 1528986, member: 71039"] That is a true statement with regards to bullet diameter only isn't it? The magic is that they make heavy for caliber bullets in 6.5 with high ballistic coefficients and most factory guns come with twists capable of stabilizing them. They do the same thing for 7mms, but heavy for caliber means you are up in the 160gr plus. Most people who shoot a 7mm08 shoot 120-140 gr bullets. Unless you shoot 168 gr bullets in a 7mm08, I dont' see how the 6.5 is a step down? Also, it is a pretty big step up from a 243. Once again focusing on bullet weights. [/QUOTE]
