[QUOTE="Vleder, post: 556273, member: 27841"] Thanks everyone for the replies and advice. So currently I think 7mmRM. Next question, best most accurate long range hunting strongly constructed bullet (yes I am asking a lot....) was thinking of the Sierra 175g Gameking, Nosler 175g Partition at approx 2850 to 2900fps as I mainly shoot kudu, blue/black wildebeest (fairly tough animals) and smaller (impala, springbuck etc). Both are strong and have decent bc's and should have good penetration especially if heavy bone hit. Running these through JBM Ballistics at 2 900fps and it gives fairly good ballistics, energy retention (1000 + fpe at 750 m) etc. Berger VLD may be a bit frangible for these heavy boned game? Pity Barnes do not make a heavier TTSX than 150g in 7mm. [/QUOTE]
