[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 297735, member: 11717"] Are there really 67 posts in this thread??? :rolleyes: Yup, the 7WSM does shoot flatter, and it burns barrels quicker too. Tradeoff.... wich is more desirable for what reasons.... OK, point by point, and I might sound sarcastic but not really trying to be so dont git yer feathers ruffled. Wha the OP wants.... What is just shooting for fun? OK, that includes a lot of posibiliteis. Actual rifle costs dont depend on caliber, they depend on rifle make and model. Factory ammo costs will vary about 10% between these mentioned cartridges. Handloading will var much less. OK, so I have to throw the flag here... forget about LR shooting if you dont want to reload. You all know durn well that Slafav is on his way to reloading so let's not even talk about factrory ammo as being a criteria for picking a rifle. You need to reload, and once you start shooting at these distances consistantly you'll almost certainly look for oportunities to start taking game as well. You dont have to get top end, but you do need to get quality. Senderos are a player. Already went over that... Ok, so I am convinced the OP really doesn't know what he wants yet, and there's nothing wrong with that. Better for him to read through these forums for a while really think about it and THEN start making some decisions, when he KNOWS what he wants and he is SMARTER about the LR scene. [/QUOTE]
