[QUOTE="shade mt, post: 613192, member: 18680"] assuming in the original post the statement was..a rifle capable of reaching out to 700 yds..if i'm not mistaken using the 1800 ft lbs of energy limit..the 7mm mag will fall below that with the best loads somewhere around 800 yds. keeping this in mind, i'm assuming your talking about shooting elk from 0 to 700 yds. i stand to be corrected .. but with a 162 gr boattail bullet leaving the muzzle at 3000fps. and a 300 yd zero...your bullet will strike somewhere around 4' feet low at 600 yds 10 feet low at 800 and if you want to stretch it to 1000 yds it will be somewhere in the neighborhood of 18 feet below point of aim. long range shooting at elk is no place to be guessing, using the" ole kentucky windage and elevation" method ......give as much thought into your scope and rifle ,and ammo as what cal rifle. no cal is going to shoot like a lazer beam.
