[QUOTE="traks44, post: 87754, member: 5059"] well after spending the better part of a year shooting my fathers 6mm/284 and stretching every ounce of accuracy out of remington 7mm mag I was able to harvest my first big bull elk at 405 yards with a single shot from a 150 NBT handload. I have caught the bug of long range hunting and looking at building a 1000 yard elk gun. I plan on using McMillian stock, jewell trigger, hart 28 inch barrel #7, either a Nesika bay action or remington 700, and either a loopy or nightforce scope, My father has the 12-42x56 and its a litte more in power and heft than I want for this rifle. Anyway The only thing I cant decide on is caliber. I am set on a 7 mag of some sort, but as for which one I dont know. I have looked at the Lazzeroni, STW, Allen magnum, and others. Under the right conditions and shooter, which 7 mag is most capable of accuracy and power out to 1000 yards on elk. I plan on shooting 160 grain bullet either from lost river or barnes. Anyone with prooven horsepower rounds with great accuracy, or slower rounds with prooven kills. I want to know which 7mm are king, I am open to all opinions and really would like alot of input! I did a search and really couldnt find much on this topic. Thanks for your time. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
