[QUOTE="thehulk, post: 743797, member: 40942"] I pick the 7Remington Magnum because of its flatter trajectory which equals easier adjustments for longer ranges. Using my ballistics calculator (Ballistic: Field Tactical Edition) it tells me that Blackhills 162gr Hornady A-Max BC: .625 Velocity 2950 FPS It will only drop 10.8 inches at 300, which to me means that I would not dope from 100-300 yards. = faster shot placements on game that is on the move. It also has 962ftlbs of engery at 1,000 yards, which is a significant amount with a 162gr bullet on any Deer sized game or less. I would prefer to leave this round as a 750yard hunting round due to the ftlbs being at 1,328 but using this as a target gun out to 1,000 would be easy and reliable. The .308 is no slouch, theres just a lot better performers out there. The 7RM is probably one of the best all round calibers with great factory ammunition out there. [/QUOTE]
