[QUOTE="shortpants, post: 599159, member: 30564"] Thanks LTLR! I sent you a pm that will answer what my priorities are for this build. As I mentioned earlier in this thread I am fully aware that there are better calibers at 1000. I am looking for a caliber to eventually get me to 1000. I'm not starting there nor am I capable of doing so. I have shot to 1000 on occasion but am no way going to call myself a 1000 yard shooter. I am looking for a 7mm cartridge that has the capabilities of getting me there through a lot of practice. That is why I am so insistent on an efficient round that won't burn the throat out in 1000 rds. I plan on shooting this gun a lot while still being able to hunt everything up to an elk with it. That does not mean I'm going to start launching lead at elk @1000yds. I practice with my bow out to 110 yards and am pretty decent at it but you won't hear about me trying to shoot game at that distance. I'm confident that a well placed arrow at 70yds will do the job and 70 is very doable for me because I push my limits and my equipment. It is the same with my rifles. I will push this 7mm build to it's limits on targets and know my limits with it on game. That is what has worked for me in the past and I see no reason to change what works. It is for these reasons that I believe I'm on the right path with this build. I figure by the time I reach the limits with this build I'll be ready for the next phase in my quest to learn long range shooting. If I find 900 is the limit with this build that's alright by me.
