They may have gone straight down even harder. Might bruise more meat if they did. Oh and get this. This is the most amazing and ubelievable part of the whole deal....... Ready ? All of my bullets this season were successfully and precisely directed via Leupold !....... Is that amazing or what ?

I've never owned either. In fact I have never even shot either cartridge, and I have no interest in either at this point in my life. But, the first thing that popped into my mind was the fact that Remington is historically bad at marketing a new cartridge and Hornady seems to be rather good at it. Whether or not that has a thing to do with the way it went down, I dunno...but that's my two cents worth.

Can’t we all just like all the different cartridges and get along? I enjoy using a variety of different cartridges and have no problem with anybody else's personal preferences. What will provoke me to drop a comment here and there is when someone says something technically inaccurate or tries to dress up personal bias as a logical argument.

Mine too, 6x36 on a 243 no less. Pigs don't like 95 grain Partitions or 90 grain Accubonds.

If I had pick one or the other, I'd go with the 6.5CM. Mostly for the reasons Brad mentioned earlier in the thread.
I've seen more well-shot game lost with TSXs than any other premium bullet.

The 7mm-08 is superior in every possible way.
Because I said so.
And I’ll shank anyone who says otherwise.

You are just far too logical, mathman.

That said, who wants to choose which one goes and which stays? Not this buckaroo. Looks like I NEED a 6.5 creed. Is the difference in recoil really that noticeable, all other things bring equal?

I haven't yet and the Vari-XIIc on the other rifle I used to kill two this year is over 20 years old. Knock on wood.

You eat a lot you poop a lot. I’m happy with my Leupolds. I own 4 Kimbers and have sent two back. They are all fantastic now. I think the hobbit like Kimbers too, fwiw.

Exactly! Me either. I like most rifles and most chamberings tho, and can't understand the guys who get all bent out of shape over what other guys like or use. Not much difference. They're basically peas in a pod, IMO. In recoil, ballistics, etc. They both occupy my sweet spot of performance vs recoil. You should get yourself a 6.5CM. You deserve it.

PS. the .257 Roberts bores the living hell out of me too and I won't ever own one because it carries the same name as a stinky little booger eater from my grade school days named Ronnie Roberts. Can't hear the name without thinking of that gross little dork. Hey, by all means pick on the 7mm-08 but leave the fine old .257 Roberts alone. lol

I have had a few Bushnells, a Denver Redfield, a couple old Tascos and a Weaver crap out on me but no Leupolds yet. Scopes work until they don't. Some of those scopes that did crap out were 30+ years old and had always worked fine right up until they didn't.

I like the way you talk, Wrongside. You should talk to my wife for me. Then again, if I bought another rifle, would she notice? Hmmmm…. Definitely agree about that sweet spot. Easy on powder, the ears, and hard on deer. In a nice trim package too.

Unfortunately my Nikon Monarch Gold that had been very solid for years has developed a rattle.
