[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 436636, member: 505"] str8shoot is right on. If you are shooting beyond say 800 yards or so go heavy. Right now I am hunting antelope at long range with my 300 ultramag shooting the 208 amax at 3210 fps. I have taken big game animals beyond 1000 yards with a 7mm-300 wby which is the same as a 7mm stw. It was done with the 175 grain SGK which was the only thing we had at that time for long range 7mm's. These are accuracy loads for one of my 7mm stw's with a 26" hart barrel. 140 grain bullet at 3547 fps. 162 Amax at 3330 fps. 175 SGK at 3218 fps. Run these through JBM or the calculator on the site and see what you get. I have no idea. Either will do the job as I have taken long range animals with both. Anytime you go bigger caliber and heavier bullet you gain killability. Obviously a 105 mm howitzer will kill better than a 22-250. There are small incremental gains as you go up from the smaller to the larger. So I guess the howitzer would kill something deader than the 22-250. Last year my son shot his antelope with a 257 wby and I shot mine with a 338-378 wby. When they were lying there in camp mine looked deader but that may be a biased opinion. [/QUOTE]
