[QUOTE="shank0668, post: 804274, member: 67842"] I bought a Remington 700 in 7mm SAUM Sunday. I basically wanted something fun to shoot, and something that I can practice on. I have never shot a rifle before. The gun is really clean. Manufactured in 02. He only shot it 100 or so times. It has a Leupold VX-II 6-18 scope on it. At 100 yards (I know, childs play) it shot a little high, but exactly where he said it would. We were shooting 140Grain Rem factory loads. Recoil was very light, probably due to the 140 G I have over a box of the 150 Grain factory [url]http://www.natchezss.com/Ammo.cfm?contentID=productDetail&brand=RT&prodID=RT27874&prodTitle=Remington%20Core-Lokt%20Pointed%20Soft%20Point%207mm%20SAUM%20150gr%2020/box[/url] How do i figure how much I need to compensate for drop at a given yardage? Right now I'd like to play around at 200-400 yards. Also, say I ever get good enough to start taking long shots, is this a sufficient caliber to do so? Out to 1000? I plan on getting a press soon enough. Roughly what will cost/round be? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
