I'm a new poster here but have been reading this sight for 2 years now and have learned so much here. I have hunted and reloaded for 27 years but the level of experience and knowlege on this sight is really great.
My question is: What is the difference in realistic hunting accuracy 700 to 800 yards between 7mm-08, .280 remington 7mm mag,7mmshortmag 7mm ultramag?
Now I'm keeping this to factory rifles, no customs. I would think with some fine tuned reloads and standard rifle tuning (beding, trigger work)that any of these cartridges could be made to shoot well. It just depends on how much recoil a person would put up with and/or the energy that would be needed for the game hunted. We are not looking to win any competitions,just realistic hunting accuracy that a person with the proper equipment and practice could hit with confidence. Thanks for your answers.
