[QUOTE="Dialing Long Distance, post: 1644534, member: 86692"] He’s right. I’ve taken my 6.5 out to a mile and it’s the same thing, spotting impacts is hard. VERY hard most of the time at a mile. Doubling that range (and more) with a 7mm will be even more challenging. If you see the guys shooting ULR, King if 2 miles, and the like, those guys are using big bore rifles for a reason. The 375’s, 408’s, 416’s, and 50 BMG are the most popular rounds. Smaller than that is not what those guys are using. Even the awesome 338LM, which, will do the job (probably better than any 7mm in my opinion, and I love 7’s) is in the minority in the 2+ mile game. I think the very smallest caliber I seen on King of 2 Miles was a 300WM. And while it shot well, it was really at the end of its reach at less than the 2 mile mark. [/QUOTE]
