[QUOTE="Barkbuster20, post: 2027364, member: 116205"] Yeah I know the 7 will out range the 338 - just not in terms of energy, but trajectory and wimd drift the 7 should.be more accurate at range. I was hoping to stay around 2000 ft lbs of energy at 800 yards. I'm sure a 175 gr soft 7mm bullet at 1800 fps or more would.be fine as well. The potential of a 300 wby seems like it makes it a good.place to start although we could pick a lot of cartridges and bullet combos suitable for.the task at hand it really comes down to.fimdimg a rifle under 1400 that has the accuracy to get out to 800 consistently. The range certified wby starting under a moa seems like it would be the safest bet. But that's why im asking you guys. [/QUOTE]
