[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 189874, member: 10"] What 7mm chambering is he referring to. I can think of no 7mm factory offering that would offer better on game performance at 1000 yards then a 338 Lapua. Ballistically, sure they may shoot flatter with the velocity edge they have over the big 300 gr SMK but terminally they would not compare. Then add to that the barrel life issue. The Lapua would be nearly twice that of rounds like the 7mm STW and RUM As far as accuracy, if both are loaded with quality bullets there should really be no real difference in accuracy potential. The key here is on game performance. If your hunting deer only, the larger 7mm will work great out to 1000 yards. If you are serious about elk, I would not even consider anything other then the 338 Lapua given the choices you have. Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
