[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 314181, member: 11717"] Yup, I mentioned the AMax earlier...it will extend your effective range. With *most* bullets the 7 RM is a 900 yd cartridge at lower elevations. At higher elevations it is a 1K rifle, and with an AMax it's a 1k plus cartridge. But way out there at those lower velocities, a little bit of wind will blow it around. So anyway if you do the math it all works out. I used 3000 fps for the 168 VLD, which is 320 fps slower than the 162 out of the STW with a 30" barrel... factor in the 8000' of elevation and it all comes out right. If I ever did a 7 build, it would be an improved Dakota, probalby an improved 7-300 Dakota. [/QUOTE]
