[QUOTE="WahooYahoo, post: 1662859, member: 94632"] There isn't a wrong answer but 7mag is MY choice, but for my reasons. Something to consider though, the 28 cal bullets (high BC) buck the miss factor by 18% more than any of the best 30 cal bullets at the same velocities. Although displacement matters, it matters less when you miss or displace large bowel. The 28 Nosler is a screamer, so consider that for every 100 fps you increase the velocity of that 195 eol or 180 ELD, you reduce wind deflection by another 15%. In that respect the 28 Nosler bucks the wind a bunch better... but at a heavy cost. 25% more powder and 30% more recoil are not insignificant; moreover, adjusting your seating depth after every 100 rounds is only NOT a big deal unless you only shoot it at game and develop your load in a short session. Otherwise, and I mean this seriously, buy several barrels in 28 Nosler at once and have them chambered at once, identically, and build it in a Remage or switch barrel to save the time and cost WHEN you have to re-barrel. So, after I considered all of these things, I built a 7 Rem Mag. It will do all you want it to do plus some. [/QUOTE]
