[QUOTE="happyhunter, post: 1045396, member: 35954"] My stock 7 mag twist rate is 9.25. My current custom 7 mag is 8.5. I was thinking of building a LRM with a twist of 8.75. I was hoping to shoot 180 berger hybrids and a copper bullet. I would like to shoot to a 1,000 yards for practice and 600 yards on deer or elk. I am currently comfortable shooting deer to 300 yards with copper or lead bullets. I can say that if I shoot a deer in the shoulder with my 7mag with a 145 lrx it will result in a humane kill. I hunt deer most of the time but would like to hunt elk in the future. I am wondering at what distances are other people comfortable shooting deer or elk using copper bullets. This is of course assuming the conditions and skill level is appropriate for that distance. It seems a lot of people are more comfortable shooting animals at long distances with lead. I guess another way to put is: If I am using a custom 7mm LRM or 7mag, what copper bullet should I use if I want to humanely kill an elk at long distance. What distance would you be comfortable using this bullet? Thank you for your suggestions. [/QUOTE]
