[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 313045, member: 11717"] Well I guess first off.... I dont watch TV :) Soooo... I have never watched BOTW and I know very little about them so it would be hard for me to comment other than... When I was young I was taught not to believe everything I saw on TV. TV footage is usually highly edited. If the BOTW guys missed any shots, do you think those would be aired? Maybe they have, I dont know and haven't watched them. I dont know anything about their loads or the bullets they use, meaning, I dont know their external and terminal ballistics. If the BOTW guys want to join the thread and explain their external and terminal ballistics and actuall success %, that would be great. What I do know I have already stated. It's real easy to run the numbers for yourself. Out of a 24-26" barreled 7mm RM a typical hunting bullet will NOT reach 1000 yds with expanding velocity except maybe at higher altitudes, and then, just barely. Can a 7mm RM kill @ 1K? Sure, but how effectively, and how often? Like I said, it's a marginal cartridge at best at that range. BTW, a 7mm RM was my go to rifle for many years... longest shot I ever made with it was 425 yds using Kentucky windage. I have a pretty good idea for their potential. -MR [/QUOTE]
