Quetion about 7mm\'s and 1000 yd competions
I'm seriously..., no I am going to build a gun for the light rifle class at Williamsport. From the board I seem to get the idea that the 6.5-284 is what most prefer.
My bent is towards the 7mm.
What percentage of shooters use this caliber?
What seems to be the favorite chambering?
And besides the 162 AMAX what other bullet is good.
The reason I ask is that I've been shooting a 7mm WSM since they came out. The pet load for it is 74 gr H1000 and 162 AMAX. I've gotten good results (.5 @100 most of the time and some better at times). I've never shot at 1000 yds though and since this is my only experience with this caliber your thoughts on my questions would be priceless.
A good wife? a benefit, A good dog? rewarding, Shooting long and straight? PRICELESS
