RE: which is more powerful?
"Also when it comes to handloads the 06 can deliver over 2000 LBS of energy at 450 yards with the 180 Grain XLC bullet @1000 ft abovesea level. I am pretty confident that is better than any 7MM handloads energy at that distance."
Not to stir this up anymore, but, I handload for my 7mm RM and my 140gr Nosler balistic tip load has (based on PointBlank Balistics program) 2026fpe at 450 yards at 1000 elevation and 70 degrees. The 160 accubonds have 2007fpe at 500 yards, same conditions.
