[QUOTE="Jim Bergmann, post: 21969, member: 445"] Hi Folks: I'm brand new to this forum; stumbled onto it the other day from a reference on another forum. I have really enjoyed reading much of the info. here. It seems you all have an immense amount of knowledge about long range and flat-shooting calibers, and I hope you don't mind if I try to tap into it a bit. I have been deer hunting in the Midwest for 25+ years, and have hunted out West for Mulies a couple times. Most of this hunting has been with either .243 or .30-06. I would like to move to something faster and flatter shooting, for my northern Missouri deer hunting (a lot of hunting over large pastures and fields) and a few more trips out west (possibly to include elk). The two factory calibers I am most intrigued by are .257 Weatherby Mag and 7mm Rem. Ultra Mag. So, would you guys mind giving me your thoughts on those calibers--pros and cons, what would you choose, experience with them, inherent accuracy, recoil levels, etc. Whatever you feel might be helpful to me. Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
