Ofcourse bc doesn't kill a good shot through vitals does. I'd expect that o6 180 load to kill everything!! I said it was a great chambering.
The topic was most for the least. BC is a advantage just like a good scope trigger or steady rest. All can be advantages but none the end all be all.

I wouldn't say meaningless, but physics is what I was thinking more about. 6BR and 105's could go on the list too.

In all reality, it'd be hard to beat the .243

I am continually astounded at how quickly people make up their minds on little evidence or none at all.

7mm-08 of course............with 140 gr. Partitions for pure killing efficiency. For longer range use, the 162 gr. Amax. But, I'm just playing favorites........

If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

In that order.

I'm looking to try the 150 ScenarL in my 7-08. Might be a great all around one.

My pick is the 280 Ackley for all the reasons Jarrett stated on his web page.

In terms of recoil, drop, drift, ass, velocity, yada, yada. I figure you gain in one spot, you lose in another.
I'm at 260/123's.......
What say the masses? I know nothing on the .260 Rem as I don't own one, or the 6.5 CM. However looking at the data on several sites, the CM does the same with the 123 as the .260 but with less powder. Both are pushing the same weight bullet to nearly 3000 fps.
