[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 291303, member: 11717"] Howdy Ro, Welcome to LRH :) You have gotten a lot of good advice so far. I have a couple of 7mmRM's also. There are a lot of good bullets and powder to choose from with the 7mmRM and some other good powders that I didn't see listed yet are RL17, RL19 and Retumbo. These should all give good velocity. As for bullets, some good ones have been mentioned I would pick the one that shot the most accurate. I would start with the 140 gr bullets first becuase they will be a little flaltter out to 600 yds. If you go beyond 600 yds, the hevier, higher BC bullets will do better. Here is an online balistic program that can help you determine how differnt bullets will perform. [U][COLOR=#800080][URL="http://www.biggameinfo.com/index.aspx?page=%2fbalcalc.ascx"]External Ballistics Calculator[/URL][/COLOR][/U] I have always zerod my scopes at 200 yds, because it requires less holdover at farther distances. Zeroing at 250 yds would be even better. Once again, you can use the ballistics program to see what the differences are. The Bushnell Elite 3200 5-15 with the mil dot reticle should work well for you. The mil dots will help you determine your holdovers. Good shooting and good hunting, -MR [/QUOTE]
