[QUOTE="bailey1474, post: 93944, member: 3249"] First of all, welcome to LRH. Stick around here and you'll learn from some of the best long range gurus around, and a few hacks like myself. Second of all, I think your going the wrong way on the bullet for your 7mm. If you really want a long range hammer take a serious look at the 162 gr Hornady Amax. You should be able to stabalize it (assuming you have a 9 twist), the ballistic coeffecient is MUCH, MUCH higher than the little 120 gr and it is very thin jacketed and thus very explosive. I know you stated you want speed, but speed is not the name of the game when it comes to longrange shooting. I was once going down the same path, then I found this board. I went from shooting a 125 gr BT in my 300 RUM a year and a half ago to a 240 SMK today. There is no comparison in the two when it comes to 500+ yd shooting. Just my 2 cents. Hope it helps. [/QUOTE]
