[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 1247604, member: 14204"] It boils down to end-user's personal preference between the 7MM Rem Mag and .300 Win Mag. The .300 Win Mag is my go to chambering for antelope to elk size game up to 1K yards (others have used it further but it's my self-imposed limit at this time). ABM now sells ammo loaded with 215 and 230 Bergers, [url=http://www.buyabmammo.com/300-win-mag.html]300 Winchester Magnum Ammunition[/url]. Having said that, handloading is best as others pointed out. 1000 yards shots does not happen overnight, practice, practice, practice ... Here's for your consideration, >>> [url=http://www.ershawbarrels.com/build-your-e-r-shaw-mk-VII-rifle.htm]Build Your E.R. Shaw Mk. VII Rifle[/url], You can have nice set-up for under $1K and is very DIY friendly should you decide in the future. If you opt for the link above and .300 Win Mag, IIWY, I'd go with 26" and 1:9" or faster twist to take advantage of the heavier and higher BC bullet offerings. Good luck! Ed [/QUOTE]
