[QUOTE="Dialing Long Distance, post: 1609905, member: 86692"] Both of those rounds will work excellent in my opinion. Although, do you by chance already have a 7mm Mag or thought about one of those? If you have one and want to step up in performance, have you considered a 338 magnum? I currently have a 7 mm Remington Magnum. My hand loads are shooting 168 grain Berger VLD’s, at 2900 FPS. This round carries 1500 pounds of energy out to 600 yards. Plenty of power to hunt whitetail, Muleys, and Elk. With this kind of performance, I have found that, in my case, jumping to a 30 caliber magnum will not yield that much in the way of difference for my needs. Moving to a 338 magnum would. I will be getting a 338 magnum within the next few months, allowing me the option to comfortably hunt just about anything in the future, including dangerous game. The offerings out there from Fierce, and Christensen are quite impressive in weight and accuracy. I have shot the 338 Lapua from Christensen. While shooting 300 grain Bergers at around 2900 FPS, it is close to a 308 in feel, and very accurate; consistently shooting well under MOA, (usually in the .5 neighborhood) and it weighs around 8.5 pounds without the scope.
