[QUOTE="Brad615, post: 649418, member: 46747"] I think that what this really comes down to is the man or women behind the gun/bullet. What I mean is that a 7mm rem mag shooting a 180 grain berger that is pushing 2800+ fps is delivering 1000 foot lbs at 1000 yards! That will be more than enough to effectively kill a deer & elk! With that being said the shooter better have done his/her homework & shoot that gun ALOT if your shooting at 1000 yards! period! For people to say or think that a 7mm rem mag cant do it at 1000 yards and you have to shoot a 300 wm to shoot/hunt at that distance probably shouldn't be shooting at any deer/elk at that distance period! I agree that a 300 wm is a better choice for 1000 yards effect on the animal but to say or think that a 7mm rem mag with the right set-up cant do it is crazy & you shouldn't be stating that on any forum.
