[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 67234, member: 10"] Sniper2, Yes it should be an impressive little round. We will see, there are alot of good ideas on paper that really never product once bullets start to fly but the smaller Allen Mags have topped our performance goals so I expect to see the same with the 7mm. I agree, flatter shooting does not equate to most accurate but from seeing how well the other heavy weight ULDs Wildcats are shooting I am not the least bit concerned about this. The 300 gr ULDs are shooting very well, have shot several sub 14" groups at one mile with them and groups at 500 yards are generally in the 1" to 1 1/4" range. I have yet to test the 350 gr pills at ranges past 500 yards but at that range they shoot nearly identical to the lighter 300 gr pills. I am shooting a 1-10 twist so we will see how they do at extreme range as far as stability goes. IF they are stable at 500 yards I suspect they will be fine. Accuracy wise, at least in my 338 Kahn, the Wildcats hold tighter average groups at 500 yards then the Sierra Mk bullets. Both shoot very well as the Sierra will hold 1.5" groups but I have shot enough 3/4" groups with the wildcats at 500 yards to know these are the only bullets I will use in my Kahn. To avoid the B.C. argument again, they also shoot a few inches flatter out to 500 yards then teh Sierra bullets when both are zeroed at the same 100 yard point. So take that for what its worth.
