[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 1515383, member: 12443"] Well I really cant say, as ive mentioned I did try the 180s when they hit the market and found they didn't perform as well as for trajectory at 1200 yds as the 162s do in my gun. I don't really feel I need a heavier bullet for the energy factor on what I use the gun for either. I feel strongly about moving on to a larger case after a certain distance, especially when hunting, and not try to just use a heavier bullet because it has a higher BC. It's sorta like shoving corn up a hogs butt in order to make it fatter imop. lol If I were young and starting over, I don't believe id have any 7mm for long range hunting. Not saying they aren't a good cartridge, just saying there are better ones for how/where we hunt, so why not just use them since they all cost about the same. Im getting 3400 with 190s in my 300 Norma also, so why take less from a 7mm? And frankly thats not a good 1 mile gun either, even with different bullets. It's a short season, enough to deal with what we cant control, so at least attempt to control what you can with the equipment, and the places you choose to hunt as for distance. [/QUOTE]
