[QUOTE="ricciardelli, post: 22727, member: 293"] I gotta ask this...and I ain't being nasty... First of all, can you accurately tell the difference between 700 and 800 yards in open territory? Secondly, do you really think there is a 7mm factory loading out there that will show any sort of accuracy at 800 yards? Are you aware that the Sierra 168 MK leaving the barrel at 3000 fps drops around 87 inches at 600 yards, and almost 300 inches at 1000 yards? And, that a mild breeze of 10 mph will blow it off course about 61 inches? Even if your factory ammo gave you 2 MOA accuracy, and you had your rifle sighted at exactly 700 yards, and the animal were exactly at 700 yards, your 2 MOA could land that bullet anywhere within a 14" area...and that is out of the kill zone!
