[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 555605, member: 24624"] A well built 7RM will consistently shoot sub-MOA to 1k subject to the shooter's ability to compensate for wind. It will do the job in spite of any challenges that some shooters complain about with respect to belted cases. With a 1:9" or 1:9.25" twist, it'll shoot some very high BC bullets such as the 180g Berger. These have enough energy to take Eland at fairly long range for which sub-MOA will suffice. If you really want to stretch your limits on Eland, you might try a big 338. As for Springbok, it is accurate enough to take them about as far out as you'll be able to range them. It would be tough to range one accurately at 800 yds on flat land. And, you've got maybe an 8" oblong kill zone. 500-600 yds would be more reasonable for a laser rangefinder to get a reading. Ranging and wind will be your nemesis. ...not the cartridge or belted case. -- richard [/QUOTE]
