[QUOTE="Daveinjax, post: 802310, member: 48429"] I am assuming this is for hunting so how about a smaller diameter bullet but tbe same 168gr to 180gr weight range ? Same or less recoil on your end and more energy at 1000 yards. The reason the 7mm is so popular with long range shooters is that it delivers enough energy at 1000 yards to dependably kill elk on down while still being comfortable to shoot without a brake. I would look to the 284 win , 280 ai , 7mm saum , or 7mm wsm. I shoot a 7mm wsm and it is at the upper limit of my recoil tolerance but the first two would be solid performer with a 168gr or 180gr vld. If you are more comfortable with the '06 case family the 280 ai is a winner. [/QUOTE]
