[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 239137, member: 10"] Trshooter, Are you for real??? Please explain to me how a 7mm Rem mag with a given bullet driven to 3050 fps can shoot flatter then a 300 RUM mag that can drive a bullet with the same or much higher BC to much higher velocity...... If you like the 7mm Rem Mag, use it but leave it at that. I smell a troll here. YOu make two posts on LRH and your already hammering against many of the mainstream standards for long range hunting. Also if your shooting deer, pretty much any chambering will work. If your shooting bull elk at long range, it becomes much more critical. Two totally different games to play. Bullet energy means nothing as far as terminal performance are concerned on big game. Frontal area makes a much greater difference on terminal performance, The more frontal area you drive through a big game animal, the more vital tissue you damage, that my friend is fact. Also,bullet drop is also meaningless. Its easy to figure and consistant everywhere for the most part. Wind drift is what will make you miss and more importantly, WOUND big game. I would take a 1 moa reduction in drift any day over a 5 moa difference in bullet drop because its impossible to NAIL the down range wind conditions, not only horizontal but also vertical up and down drafts. This is where the larger caliber, higher BC bullets far outperform the smaller rounds. Baring central nervous system impacts, the larger caliber, heavier bullets have far more effect on big game at any range then the smaller caliber rounds, even if the smaller rounds are driven to much higher velocity. You spout some things that you claim are fact when in FACT, they are your opinion and in reality you are wrong in several ways. Seems you have a bone to pick with LRH if your posting topics like this on only your second post........ I do not judge others by the number of posts they have made on here. Many have very few posts logged but have vast experience to offer. But I do judge someone by how they post and when you make posts like this after only your second post, red flags fly all over. Do you need a large magnum to kill game at long range, certainly not. On heavier game will the larger calibers make hits at long range easier, generally, YES. Are they more authoritative on big game at long range when soft tissue impacts are made, certainly YES. Again, My friend Shawn Carlock was more diplomatic as far as his reply to you but we both agree totally. Your claims seem to be based on opinion more then anything else as there is no question what is more effective on heavy game at long range, a 7mm Rem Mag of a 338 Edge. I would take the Edge EVERY time no matter if the range is 100 or 1000 yards. Nuff said, good post. Needed to get the blood running this morning. [/QUOTE]
