[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 286613, member: 4191"] If you want a 7mm and you're content with the 800 yd maximum kill range, then I would go with the 7mm Rem Mag, shooting 168 gr Berger VLDs, trying Hodgdon Retumbo powder. The 7mm Rem Mag or 7mm WSM will have sufficient teminal velocity and energy to kill those game out to the ~1000yd range. They'll kick less and barrel life will be extended compared to the larger case capacity cartridges you've mentioned. I killed a large bull caribou at 850 yds two falls ago with the 7mm RM - no problems. I was using 160gr Nosler ABs at that time. I'm shooting the Berger 168 VLDs now and consider them preferable for 600+ yard shots on game. If you want to stretch it much past 1000yds, then you might better go for one of the larger cased cartridges on your list in order to maintain sufficient terminal velocity/energy at those extended ranges.
