[QUOTE="tooth doc, post: 1908034, member: 52018"] There are many choices, but some better than others. Wanting something that will do the job past 1000 yds narrows the field a bit. 7mm rem, good choice, i prefer 7 stw or 7 dakotz or 28 nos. Those who decry the nosler because of barrel life must be doing a lot more shooting with that one rifle than i do. 800 - 900 rds hunting will be 20 plus years for me and with a reasonable weight rifle not unpleasant to shoot. Put a brake on it if you must, i only use brakes off the bench, as i never seem to notice recoil in the field. I also like the 7 shorts but prefer the wsm, i little better performance but mostly a handloading cartridge, but then i handload all my hunting and all my lr comp ammo except 6.5 creed. Cant bear the 6.5 and 7mm in an appropriate rd for the lr hunting. 30 cal also but to end up with same performance u will need 200 plus gr bullers to achieve same performance at lr and that means a pretty big hammer. Make sure whichever cal you choose to get a twist rate appropriate for the bullet wt you choose. Just my thoughts. Have fun! [/QUOTE]
