[QUOTE="yogibearmech, post: 1724998, member: 83580"] So just my opinion that a gun is a tool. Certian tools work better for certain jobs. You don't need a 375 H&H mag to kill a deer. Few years ago I bought a custom rifle from Scott Harold at QMM. I went to Idaho for his training session along with 2 other buyers of his guns. The day we shot there were 2 300 WM one 7mm RM and a new 28 Nosler. We shot out to 1185 yards. The 7 mag was falling way short with the 180 VLD. Recovered one 7mm bullet laying in the field and the hollow point had barely expanded. It fell short by several yards. Of the 2 300 WM one for some reason had a faster barrel than the other. Chronograph readings were around 100 FPS faster. The faster 300 WM made it easier to hit the steel plate at that distance. The 28 Noer ruled the shoot. With the high BC 195 Gr bullet and the faster muzzle velocity beat the other 3 rifles hands down. That being said its a tool if you aren't shooting that distance then no need for rhe [/QUOTE]
