[QUOTE="GrayCreed, post: 2377594, member: 114633"] Strictly from a hunting perspective there are still lots more guns and ammo in 7mmag. Also the bullet selection for 7mm is only topped by 30cals. Nothing wrong with the 277 bore but at this point it's just not there yet. 6.5 and 6 have more bullet options. I like the fact that they are making new calibers but hate how they have to constantly lie about stuff to sell new guns. Example The 350 legend isn't legendary and IS NOT more powerful than the 30wcf. Also Winchester doesn't make AR15s The 6arc does not have the same downrange energy of a 308. (also no government agencies have adopted this caliber) While the 6.5 creed is basically just a moderized 6.5x55sweed there are things that it also is not (300wm) Also using the hotest loads of the highest BC bullets in 6.8wsrn does not prove it's better than 300wm/7mmmag with lighter loads of lighter or same weight bullets. Well I guess the reason the 224valk never took off is cuz nobody lied and said it was more powerful than a 22-250.... From a hunting perspective alot of it is what sweet spot a cartridge occupies which makes it fun to shoot and therefore easier to learn to shoot accurately. The real question is could a 12yr old tell the difference in recoil from a 68wsrn vs a 7mmag. Many people consider the 7mag VERY shootable. If you can handle recoil of both why settle for the lessor? If you cant handle 7mag recoil, or your buying the gun for a small frame shooter, it may be better to just skip both and go with the 7-08/308/65creed class of cartridges and limit range to 300yds. I mean who needs a 68wsrn when Randy Newberg kills everything with a 7mm-08! [/QUOTE]
