[QUOTE="mnoland30, post: 1659348, member: 29323"] I shoot a 7mm WSM Browning Titanium, and load it down to about 7mm-08 velocity. With a 168 gr. Berger, it dropped an elk at 340 yards with no problem. That is at 2750 fps. Don't get Magnumitis. Shooting times had an article years ago where they shot all of the commerial loads in 30-06, and measured velocity at 300 yards. The highest BC bullets had about double the energy of the round nose bullets. That was before we had really high b.c. bullets. I bought the magnum instead of the 7mm-08 in case I ever wanted to load up. So far, I never have seen the need. The recoil is much more manageable with lighter loads, and my accuracy is way better than with factory loads. [/QUOTE]
