[QUOTE="Ronald W Schaefer, post: 1832642, member: 109378"] Bunch of good sevens out there: I like the 7mm-08 for medium sized game (Elk, mulies) out to about 500 yds, you can ring steel to 1000 and not burn that barrel up for a while. Easy on the shoulder and low muzzle blast. You can get some great lightweight mountain rifles in that cartridge. That said, you wouldn't be wrong to go with a "plain Jane" 7mm Rem Mag in a tight twist barrel...Say 1/9 or 1/8 so you can stabilize heavier bullets. Brass is cheap and plentiful, there is a ton of great hunting bullets available and you can get cartridges at a gas station in Zimbabwe. Plenty of jack for use afield as well. Finally, if you want a smoker get a 28 Nosler and suck up the cost of brass. A friend of mine is fond of saying, if you're worried about the cost of jet fuel maybe you shouldn't own a lear jet. :) [/QUOTE]
