[QUOTE="lovec_1, post: 1011061, member: 15032"] Well, i am little bit limited by barrel choice. I have very good offer for 7mm barrel with 9" twist. QuickLoad shows if i can push 180gr VLD with muzzle velocity around 780m/s (2560+ fps), it will fly in range 1000m ([SIZE=4]~[/SIZE]1093yds) still more then 400m/s (1310+ fps). So i am relatively safely in transsonic zone. For punching holes in paper sure enough. But this should be more hunting than target rifle. My main 1000m rifle is 300WM with 208 A-Max. My original 7mm-08 idea was paper punching up to 700-1000m with 180gr (Berger VLD, Lapua Scenar) and hunting deer-sized game (usually between 100-180 lbs.) up to 500-600m (550-650yds) with 140-150-162gr hunting bullets like SST, AB LR, BT.... Thx very much for your opinion. I dont want 260 Rem., because i already have other rifle in 6,5x47 Lapua. And i dont need two 6,5mm rifles. Here are my rifles and their tasks: 1.) 300WM - main LR rifle. Competition 1000+, occasionally LR hunting bigger game at 700+ distances 2.) 6,5x47 Lapua - Competition rifle only, all common distances here 3.) 9,3x62mm - main hunting rifle, big game, driven hunt.... 4.) [B][U]7mm-08[/U] -[/B] hunting rifle for 500-600m, small-medium sized deers/boars, occasionally LR training and competitons up to 800-1000.... [SIZE=2]What do you think about it?[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
