[QUOTE="jamiebolseth, post: 1512464, member: 88495"] I have two hunting rifles rifles that I think are comparable to what you are looking to build. One is a 7Saum shooting 180's at 2900fps. The other is a 300 WSM shooting 200's at 2825fps. Both weigh about 8 lbs all in with a Thunderbeast Ultra5. With the 7Saum I spot my hits/misses past 400 yds from a good solid prone position about 3/4ths of the time. With the 300 WSM that drops to about 1/4th of the time. There's just enough increase in recoil with the 300 WSM that spotting hits is a challenge for me. When I DO spot hits with the 300 WSM it's usually because I am able to move the optic after recoil back onto the target. Of course position stability, stock fit, distance to target, and field of view of your scope will all have an important affect on your ability to spot hits/misses. But this is my experience with my Thunderbeast Ultra 5 and two rifles that sound similar to what you are considering.. [/QUOTE]
