[QUOTE="odoylerules, post: 1335513, member: 99160"] This is my very first post! I'm relatively new to the long range game. I've been reading and searching post for over a year and have always been able to find answers eventually. The more I search about the 7-300 win mag the more confused I get. I own a Remington 700 chambered in 300 winmag, 24" factory barrel. I love it and it's fun to shoot. I've found a great load that's consistently sub half MOA. It's super heavy though, around 18lbs, which sucks to carry around the mountains. In my first competition I did great out to around 14-1500 yards (my trans-sonic zone), then things got very inconsistent. I'm shooting Berger hybrid 215's at about 2780fps. I want to start a new custom build and have thought hard about making it a 7-300. My goal is a lighter weight hunting rig, but I may occasionally compete with it, so I want to extend my range from the current setup. Specifically it has to be super sonic at a mile. I plan to use a lightweight chassis and proof research barrel, and custom action. I like the thought of a 7-300win for a lot of reasons, like I have brass and dies already. My question... Given my "needs", is this the way to go? I plan to run Berger 195's. Is this the caliber that will bang that 1 mile steel every time (given I do my part) and drop an elk as far as I need? What are your thoughts about this specific wildcat cartridge in general? [/QUOTE]
