[QUOTE="Jcook02, post: 1982911, member: 113022"] I'm a basic kind of guy. I shoot a semi-custom 7 Rem Mag with handloads. 175 accubond longrange around 3000 at 1200 ASL. This combo shoots better than my abilities. Although we had this rifle built for deer and elk, I went with a 300 RUM for elk. My first rifle was a 7mm-08 and it has dropped several elk and unknown amount of deer. When I finally stepped up and started hunting and shooting with a quality rangefinder, I went with heavy for caliber bullets. I truly think that made a big difference in stopping power. The 28 Nosler perks my interest and my gunsmith wouldn't have a problem with me burning a barrel faster. If for some reason you had an ammo issue, 7 Rem Mag is pretty much everywhere. If you can't find a box of core-lokts in 175 at your local stores, I don't know what to tell you. Good luck with your quest. So many choices out there, I seriously doubt you can go wrong in this caliber class. [/QUOTE]
