[QUOTE="Remington92, post: 2999414, member: 96256"] To throw a wrench in things I’m fairly set on a Remington 700 long range. But now I’m reconsidering caliber. For elk comparing a 180-195gr 7mm to a 215gr 300wm at extended range is the 180-195 that far out classed? I’m worried at what point does it turn into an arms race snd end up at 338LM. From what I’m looking at out to 1000 they’re all very similar impact velocities of just under 2000 and all over 1500ft/lb with 300wm being 200-300ft/lb more. Is the 300 worth the extra powder and recoil? [/QUOTE]
