[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 829041, member: 11717"] If you want a 1500 yd deer rifle, IMO none of the above qualify. If you can launch a 180 hybrid @3000 fps out of the 7's, you will get to about 1000 yds with 1800 fps of velocity for bullet opening. At 1500 yds you are going to be about 1300 fps, just above transonic speed. If you want a 1500 yd 7mm deer rifle you need to go to a 7 RUM and even that will come up a little short. If you want barrel life, you're going to have to sacrifice range. If you want range, you're going to have to sacrifice barrel life, especially in a 7mm. If you want barrel life and range, get a 338 EDGE. [/QUOTE]
