[QUOTE="jshepherd61, post: 1451895, member: 93960"] Depends on your definition of long range! If you want exceptional knock down power and great velocity? I shoot a 7mm STW 168gr Nosler ABLR at 3,305 FPS have taken many animals over 1,000 yds never lost one. Also have a 195gr Berger EOL load at 3,005 FPS. The 7mm bullet is about as ballistically efficient as you can get without stepping down to the 6mm or 6.5mm but you then limit yourself as to knock down energy at extreme ranges. If you want to step up to the .30 cal, I also shoot the 30-378 208gr at 3,300 fps. Both are barrel burners, replace mine every or every other year. Can’t beat either one for long range hunting.
