[QUOTE="JW74, post: 1130221, member: 81323"] I was crunching some numbers on my Ballistic AE app for fun this evening just to see some results. I used the 7 Rem Mag shooting the Swampworks 180 gr JLK (.735 BC) @ 2900 fps. With my local conditions I have it dropping 71.97 MOA at 2000 yards. Trans sonic distance is 2233 yards. With these numbers I think this load is rock solid for steel out to 1500 yards and would be decent to 2000 yards as long as the wind isn't too bad. The 7 Rem Mag with this load drops 5.5 MOA less at 2000 yards than a 338 Lapua with 300 gr Bergers does (according to the Balistic AE app). Now when comparing energy there is no comparison but when shooting steel energy is mute really. Now for hunting shots I would personally consider 500 yards my upper distance as I am conservative that way. Just thought I would share some of these numbers for fun. [/QUOTE]
