[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2191836, member: 109862"] From a pure hit probability standpoint the big 7mms make sense as the minimum for 2000 or even 1800. The bc of the heavy 7s is not matched by anything of smaller bore diameter, 6.5s very much included. The heavy high bc 7s driven over 3000 FPS get there without going subsonic. whether handloading or not, a plain vanilla 7mm rem mag or 300 win mag will probably be the cheapest than can be made to do this consistently. that being said they are hardly ideal. Not that I know anything about shooting these distances firsthand, full disclaimer there. But as others have mentioned, being able to see and hear (if A gong is involved) your hits counts for a lot. The big 338s and 375s to my mind are perfect for this [/QUOTE]
