[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 312697, member: 1403"] Also, another thing I haven't seen mentioned yet is when you miss, which you'll be doing lots of that at 1500+yards, you need to be able to SEE where you miss. Much easier to spot a 300g slug vs a 180g slug at 1500 yards, I guaruntee you that much. And all that about no 30 cals hitting harder then a 7 RUM, when you compare apples to apples, there is still no comparison, bigger bullets DO hit harder. Who cares what the numbers say on a computer screen. Less recoil= better accuracy is nonsense if you ask me. Thats what you read in gun mags by guys who dont know how, or just cant shoot big rifles period. Big rifles are just as accurate as the smaller ones, one just has to know how to shoot them and work up the proper loads. My 338 EDGE shoots 300g SMK's into 1/2 MOA at 100 yards the same as my lowly .222 rem throws 40g vmaxs into 1/2 MOA at 100 yards, theres 50 lbs of recoil difference between the two. [/QUOTE]
