[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 873099, member: 12995"] Well, I am a big 7mm fan... I own numerous rifles in .30 caliber to .45 caliber, but my staple will always be a 7mm caliber or a .257 caliber, because I primarily hunt whitetail deer. The 7mm calibers are quite often overlooked as a viable long range option with proper shot placement. I have never shot an Elk. However, we have numerous members on here who shoot them with 7mm RM, 7mm STW, 7mm Dakota, .280 Rem, .280 Ackley Improved, even the little 7mm-08, and all the various 7mm calibers and have no issues killing them, even at long range. One guy on here killed a HUGE moose @ 900-something yards with a regular old 7mm RM... That tells me that the 7mm is quite capable for long range. There is nothing wrong with the .300 WM...Hell, I reload for my buddy's. I also reload for a buddy of mine who has a .300 Weatherby Mag. So, it's not like I'm against the bigger calibers, 7mm calibers have just always been my favorite and my go-to. [/QUOTE]
