[QUOTE="rost495, post: 36378, member: 1768"] Did not hear the mile record was rebroken. Where can I find that data. IIRC the record was like 11 inches at 1600 yards which is pretty impressive as it is. I'd love to see data on a 5 inch or so group at that distance. The 30s have always seemed to rule the long range target stuff. Everytime I asked about the 7s its the accuracy question. Though David Tubb said you could set records at 1000 with the 7 STW but could you afford the barrels? As to the hunting question-- I don't think that the 7mm is ideal for longer shots. I"d much prefer 30-338 cal for anything thats 500 yards and longer. A bit more punch. [/QUOTE]
