[QUOTE="signature542, post: 628507, member: 14798"] Hi Is it a hunting or target bullet you are looking for? The barrel is 24 inches I believe and you may be down a few fps but the rifle carefully tuned is more than capable of reaching 500 yards. I use 162 SST's as an economy pill and achieve good accuracy with both of my 7mm RM's . T3 Camo and a Rem 700P. Heat will be your problem so I can see no issues if you let it cool between shots. Havent met an animal yet that I havent been able to put down with a well placed SST. A buddy just took a lovely sambar stag using the 160gn Accubond with my old T3 in 7mmRM. Range only 205 metres. However the Interbond without the cannelure dose fly a lot better out wide. I use Berger 168gn hunting pills in my Rem 700P and easily achieve 1/2 moa and I compete quite well in F class open events with it. My rifles dont like max book loads at their accuracy nodes. My 700 has a bad chamber I think, but it shoots well enough and doesnt wander as heat builds up in a string of 10 shots. You may have to try a few loads to see what your rifle likes.. at 500 yards the most accurate load is the one you are looking for. [/QUOTE]
