The Manners stock weighs 2.1 lb.
but when it comes to heavy bone, there's no replacement for momentum when dealing with 2 equally constructed bullets of different weights...
I don't know about that. I'm seeing where the unconventional Bergers penetrate 2 to 3 inches and grenade no matter what weight.
To illustrate my point, do you think that a 50gr .224 Berger VLD (if one existed) would smash through the shoulder joint of a big bull moose just as well as a 225gr .338 version of the same bullet?
The bullet may be designed to penetrate, but if it lacks the momentum to push on through, it just isn't going to happen...
The difference between 6.5 and 7mm isn't nearly as large as the difference between the .22 and .338, but the 7mm offers a slight edge that I would gladly take advantage of. If you're talking about an elk rifle, the recoil difference between .260 and .284 shouldn't be overly significant.
