[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 455623, member: 505"] Supercross, what you have here is an oxymoron. A 7mm for beyond 1200 yards. The 7mm is not a good choice for beyond 1200 yards and certainly not to be considered for a big game hunting cartridge at that range. Bullets, BC's and barrel wear cause the 7mm to loose out to the larger calibers for extreme long range shooting beyond 1200 yards. A 7mm cartridge capable of pushing the highest bc bullets at velocities neccesary for long range is a barrel burner. No way around that. A big 338 can push a much heavier and higher BC bullet with much greater barrel life. That is why they are so popular. Beyond 1000 yards the 338 is superior to the little 7mm's. If you are building a rifle for beyond 1200 yards you need to look at a larger caliber cartridge. Why spend all that money and have a rifle that is not a good choice for your application. [/QUOTE]
