[QUOTE="JPHunter, post: 1495827, member: 74047"] Appreciate the advice gents, In terms of being able to put animals down I'm not concerned, after all karamojo bell shot several hundred elephants with a 7x57 and i know a guy that has used them effectively on buffalo in Australia. To be honest I dont plan on shooting to 600 yards, lost interest in anything that far. I think it's just better to over estimate my requirements than underestimate. I've spoken with barnes, and planned on running 150 ttsx as they were the only thing in 7mm that will open up at as low a speed as they do (1500fps) but after four months on back order in aus with no signs of turning up i cancelled the order. I have ordered in some norma oryx for my in close stuff and I'll shoot that with open sights but with a bc of .33 they're not ideal for anything thats a poke. I'm putting a qr ring on and want a scope sighted to something more suited to longer range for sambar. Something like an eld or nosler long range has crossed my mind. [/QUOTE]
