[QUOTE="kiwi3006, post: 317231, member: 8927"] 7mm mag of course, hey I shoot one so I can't be biased:D! 7mm has great BC bullets to choose from 162 a-max and 168 berger are both 0.6 G1, 160 accubond 0.531 G1. All these can easily be pushed over 3000 fps. There will be minimal windage correction out to 500 yds. The only way to get 308 bullets with these BC's is to get into the 200 gr + range, and there is no way you could push these over 3000 fps in a 308! Yes it has a belt, but that doesn't affect it's accuracy. Any good smith can build you a 7mm mag that will achieve 0.5 MOA or better. Shooting my 7mm mag, with a hand around the bipod I can spot my shots from 100 yds out. It weighs 9-10 lb and has a 26" No 5 barrel. Recoil is very mild, a 12 year old boy had no problems shooting my rifle! The only advantage of 308 over the 7mm mag is barrel life. Stu. [/QUOTE]
