[QUOTE="odoylerules, post: 1335579, member: 99160"] I can't imagine shooting at an animal much farther than a 1000 yards. That's a long, long way in the field with real world variables and the fact that animals move unlike targets. The majority of elk and deer are taken like 2-500 yards obviously, but it's a great feeling to know you could do much more if the variables were perfect. I want a round that stays super sonic out to a mile for shooting steel. If I can get it around 10-12 lbs finished weight like I want I'm sure it'll kick hard, but who cares if it's primarily a hunting rig. No one feels recoil when shooting at animals right. My current 300 win mag will max out on game at about 950 yards. That's when it slows to about 1800fps and full bullet expansion can't be counted on. I don't know what a 7-300 will do to extend my current effective range. I'm thinking with the 195's running around 2900-3000fps it should be close to what I want. That's one of the main questions I had about it. [/QUOTE]
