[QUOTE="7mmpoppy, post: 377177, member: 15322"] First i would ask, new to the forum or new to shooting 1000 yds? next if you are recoil shy, you might want to think about getting closer to the elk and shoot something doable. Recoil is not something to be thinking about when you are shooting at something that bleeds at beyond "your comfortable range". If going forward...... I shoot a 7mm rum, for everything. just because I like the point blank range. It and the other ultramags, in my humble opinion, "push" you a good bit but I will shoot it more than my 30-06,.270, or .300win mag, because they "kick". One shot at game you feel nothing, but it takes more than a couple rounds to get proficient at "long range". much more to do with subject, I'm sure you will get the answers you want right here on LRH. A great bunch of people sharing a world of knowledge. (7mmultramag):D [/QUOTE]
