[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 719050, member: 48043"] Go for one of the 7mm, 30 cal., or 338 mags. I'd go with the 300win, 300 rum, or 7mmstw myself; favoring the last two for true long range. A 140 at 3400+ or 175 at 3000+ out of a 7stw is [I]really [/I]flat shooting while still entertaining barrel life, and the 300 rum will do 180's to 3300 and 225's to 3000 fps. Of course there are other weights but I thought I'd toss middle and heavy weights for both to represent what they can do real world. I like the 338win, but it's case capacity does hurt it for getting enough speed out of the big 338 pills you need for good energy at range. I'd go 338rum or 338edge if I got another 338. [/QUOTE]
