[QUOTE="sendero72, post: 1088359, member: 23285"] I live in the southeast so there is no need IMO for the heavier 300 mag. I've been shooting the 7 RM for 35 years and kill more than my share of whitetails. Last season I found a batch of Hornady 162 gr aluminum tip "National Match" Amax. Decided to run a test on deer. At 80 and 165 yds the bullet didn't exit, but they dropped in the tracks. Then 257, 840, and 1102 yds. Again all dropped on the spot and the bullet did exit nicely. I'm going on a caribou hunt in Sept in Quebec and I feel comfortable that at 1000 yds the 162 will more than do the job. So I think the 7 RM will do the job for the range you stated. But when it's all said and done, the 300 mag will win the contest for the longest range. Even if the 195 Berger enters the market in our lifetime, the 7 mag can't push it fast enough to compete with the 300 mag. [/QUOTE]
