Welcome to LRH, Steve.
I have been hunting and shooting at the range for quite a while myself but getting out past 300 yards was always an adventure. There is so much good experience here, I can hardly speak to it.

So have at it and don't be afraid to post some targets.
And thanks for your service.

Thank you 4bycamper for the welcome, and you are welcome Sir

This is an incredible site, been doing a whole lot of reading, I have a project that I am going start with an Long action Rem 700,,,
Just not sure at this point which way to go, most likely 7mm,,,

Good Choice. I an a huge fan of 7mm, with a 284 Win for practice and a 7 saum for hunting.

There are those who will tell you that the 7 mag drops off the table at 700 something yards. And I limit my shots on elk to that distance. But with deer or hogs you can go out much farther, 10000 or so.

Enjoy
