[QUOTE="Wade Olson, post: 2451069, member: 110628"] I ordered a new custom rifle with a 26” 8 twist barrel in a 7mm Sherman Short. I would like to use the rifle for mountain goat hunting and possibly a backup rifle for Roosevelt elk. The rifle will be hunted with a brake and surpression, not that this probably matters to my question. My questions: What copper bullet would you recommend? I have friends switching to copper and my wife also wants me to shoot copper. Do people prefer Hammer Hunters or Cutting Edge bullets and why? Are the G7 BC différences between the two brands réal? Lastly, would you recommend a 155 or 168 or 180 grain bullet? My guess is that velocities with these 3 bullets and re26 powder will be 3200, 3100 and 3000 fps, respectively? I do not envision shooting beyond 600 yards although the gun is capable of more. 400 yards or less being likely. Thank you in advance for everyone’s bullet advice. [/QUOTE]
