[QUOTE="zingdingo, post: 140289, member: 4413"] If you truly want to do a lot of long range practice (and you really should!), I would not want to have anyone of the calibers mentioned as my sole LR rig. They just aren't well suited to what I consider 'practice' volume levels of shooting. Reasoning: Barrel life, cost of ammo (even reloaded, 338 matchkings are 50 cents a piece, 7mm wildcats are similar, and at 100 grains of powder, you only get 70 shots per pound), barrel heat, and recoil (can deal with it, but there are always trade-offs, no free lunch). If it were me, I would give serious thought to a gun chambered in a smaller caliber, mild round. (personal choice, if it were a single shot, would be a 1-8 twist 6br). I think having the opportunity for truly high volume practice would do you far more good than the difference between a 7 Allen Mag and a 338 Edge, or whatever choices you may be favoring. Good luck, and you came to the right place. [/QUOTE]
