• 7mm 30 06 Comparison

By Chuck Hawks The.284/7mm cartridge clan has become second in numbers only to the.30 caliber cartridges in North America. There is a wide array of 7mm contenders, from the effective 7x57mm Mauser to the new 7mm WSM and 7mm Remington SAUM. Somewhere in between are the 7-30 Waters, 7mm-08 Remington, 7x64 Brenneke,.284 Winchester,.280 Remington.

• Jul 04, 2009  I believe that a.30-06 with 200 or 220 grain bullets would be a better 'stopper' than any 7mm Mag. The 7mm Rem is a better long range performer than the.30-06. If I was to own one gun it would be the.30-06 over the 7mm Mag. If I was shooting paper, it would be neither of those rounds and any of several smaller calibers.
• That is pleasant to shoot compared to the 06 with 180 gr bullets. The weight of the rifle and the weight of the bullet really effects recoil. Skip425, Nov 26, 2010.

7mm 30 06 Comparison

Click to expand.I dont believe i argued against the ability of either caliber not being qualified as hunting weapons. Its simply fact limited by bore diameter that 7mm doesnt offer the range of bullet weights found in 30 cal.

Speer for example offers at least a range of bullets for 30 caliber ranging from 100 grain to 220 grain weights. I've not seen that range in any 7mm offerings, and IF a 220 were offered the bullet would be so long most rifles wouldnt stabilize the bullet.Thus I stand by my statement.

With todays bullet types compared to 40 years ago you don't need as wide a range of bullet weight and a 7mmRM can with bullets from 110gr to 190gr with much higher BC than a 3006 bullets at the lightest or heaviest bullets. Stabilizing a bullet is all about barrel twist and a 180gr 7mm will have less drop and wind drift when both a 7mm and 30 cal bullet are driven at the same velocity with matching BC reguardless of cartridge.

A 162gr a max is close to a 200gr 30 call for BC. Bump the 7mm to 175 180gr class bullets and the 30 200gr cal is about out of luck. Jump up to a 300 win mag then and push it harder.The 220gr 06 is better at killing fish. Better stunage when shot near fish in water!!.The Firearms Forum is on online community for all gun enthusiasts. Join us to discuss firearms of all kinds, gun accessories, legal issues and more.
