Thread: All round NZ hunting - 6.5 PRC or 7mm Short Mag

I would choose the 7mm hands down. You could argue I’m 7mm biased (and I am haha) but don’t get me wrong I am loving my little 260 atm. The larger 7mils to me are the ultimate compromise of everything, ballistic performance, recoil, terminal performance etc etc for hunting. The further and bigger you go the more the 7 will out perform the 6.5. The 6.5s only real advantage IMO is a little less recoil. Gunwerks (USA) have a real good podcast on this. It’s called something like “Long Range Pursuit: EP60: Get SAUM”
