[QUOTE="el matador, post: 1149295, member: 12193"] I would decide what level of accuracy you're after and make a plan from there. Most 700 sporters will shoot MOA or less with handloads, but few will shoot 1/2 MOA. You can spend weeks trying to find a good load, and a few hundred bucks in components and fuel, and still not be shooting much better than 1 MOA. If you're looking for a 1/2 MOA gun I would put those resources toward a new barrel. Regarding caliber I agree with Barrelnut. Keep it a 7 mag unless you want to frequently pursue elk at ranges beyond 500 yards, in which case I'd step up to a 300 mag or 338 RUM. [/QUOTE]
