[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 618666, member: 5302"] 7mm's often surface in conversations about "the" caliber for long range use. So does the .338, especially Lapua's magnum cartridge. But the 30 calibers seem to do best in 1K-yard benchrest when conditions ain't perfect (which most shooting situations happen in). And Lapua's .338 magnum didn't do as well in the military's Precision Sniper Rifle accuracy tests as the .300 Win. Mag. which was the most accurate at all ranges from 1000 to 1500 yards. Why the US Army continues to pursue the .338 Lapua round is beyond me. Note that a .300 Win. Mag. barrel will last quite a bit longer than the 7mm STW. [/QUOTE]
