And that my friend is why there are so many different calibers! I am also a big fan of the WSM and WSSM calibers, which many are not. I have a safe-and-a-half full of firearms...some have turned into safe queens (like my custom shop Rem 700 7mm Mag is one such gun...I hate it...it kicks like a mule and just isn't pleasant to shoot...I'll trade it off at some point)...I'll use my 7mm-08 to take advantage of the high BC bullets offered in .284...LOL. I am not completely opposed to the '06 parent case as I really love my .270, just the '06...LOL Happy hunting Skinner!
