[QUOTE="packgoatguy, post: 1556610, member: 27192"] That may be a big consideration here: only some of these cartridge choices are available in factory rifle configurations from your "big box" style manufacturers. 7mm WSM might be an interesting round for someone making an "ultralight" mountain gun in a short action, but would be difficult to find a new one on the shelf at Cabelas... However, I think if one does the "math" here, it might be surprising the difference in the max capabilities of the various bullet options. I for one was surprised at the edge that the heavy 7mm high BC bullets can have when compared to others. I for one love my little kimber mtn ascent in 6.5cm, but if I were looking at making a 1000 yard shot on a deer... its 55 inches of drift in a 10mph wind vs the 33-40 inches of drift in a 28 nosler or big 338 could make all the difference in the world. (not that I would necessarily take a 1000 yard shot in a 10mph wind at a deer...) [/QUOTE]
