[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 947787, member: 12995"] The Berger 7mm 168 VLD has better BC than the Berger .30 168 VLD. If you are shooting inside of 1K and deer/elk sized game, the 7mm RM should be more than enough rifle. Out to 750 or so, I'd even say even the small 7mm-08 would be enough cartridge with 168's or 180's out of a 26" 1:9 barrel, and a healthy charge of slow burning powder. It uses the same parent case as the .308 Win. My .308 shooting heavy-for-caliber bullets (210 Bergers) will still hold 1498 fps and 1047 ft.lbs. of energy, and drops 205" @ 750 yards. More than enough to take down anything on your list. Might not be the fastest or flattest shooting but it would certainly get the job done. To give you a comparrison, my 7mm RM pushing a Berger 168 VLD @ 750 is at 1996 fps, and 1487 ft.lbs. of energy, and drops 118" from a 100 yard zero. [/QUOTE]
