[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 189428, member: 8"] What do you want to shoot? paper? toad frogs? field mice? Perhaps something with hair on it such as pen raised possums? Or are we talking about antelope elk or deer? The speeds you are talking about are hard on a barrel. Light bullets which are fasts in the smaller 7mm Mag cartridges have low BCs and are very wind affected at long range. The better BC bullets require a lot of powder to be burned to get the speeds you want. If you want to burn a lot of powder to get those speeds in a moderate to high BC bullet then you should look at the two threads on the Allen Magnums. Of course if you want to shoot it a lot then you should have a spare barrel made at the time you order it so it is available and ready to install. The 7mm AM despite being on a large capacity case is still extremely docile with the correct powder and bullet and extremely accurate. [/QUOTE]
