Curious! Why is a "long range hunter" stomping around and hunting brushy areas.
Depends on twist and bullet shank length. Go 33 inches. If velocity doesn't satisfy shorten barrel.Would I loose velocity with a 30" barrel?
Some people use rifles for more than 1 purpose. Some people have to hike to their hunting location. This location might be through a forrest or wooded/brushy area...Curious! Why is a "long range hunter" stomping around and hunting brushy areas.
My best results so far are with the Hornady 139gr Interbond factory ammunition at 100yd from an out of the box 7mm Rem.Mag. Mossberg Patriot Rifle. I like to keep my groups at least 3" high at 100 - 200yds.What are the tightest groups out of a 7mag at 1 or 2 and 3 hundred yards?
IMHO, when considering long barrels, you should consider barrel harmonics and barrel contour/construction, and, will you be adding a brake or suppressor? I have one old 7 Remmy with a thin sporter 24 inch barrel that will group good at 100 to 200 yards and then gets really bad beyond that, especially when shooting bullets of more than 140 grains. Just my thoughts based on the toys I have to play with.Would I loose velocity with a 30" barrel?
Might as well have asked What's the best thing at being the best thing?What is the best formula for the most accurate 7mm Rem Mag?
I hunt elk in the Unita mountains of eastern Utah. Shots range from 20 yards to 500 yards depending upon where you are and where the elk are all within 5 miles. Some are wide open meadows, others are in lodgepole pine thickets. I shoot a 338 Win Mag in the Unitas, have a 1917 sporterized 30-06 and a 270 WSM as backup.Some people use rifles for more than 1 purpose. Some people have to hike to their hunting location.

...7RM does simply amazing work with everything from 100 grain varmint bullets to 195 grain big game bullets...It'll kill anything from dik-dik to dinosaurs like a sledgehammer, has great penetration capacity, moderate recoil and is easy as pie to load for...

To hear some people tell it the 6.5CM is destined to replace the main gun on the M1 tank platform.You're confused. What you describe is obviously the 6.5 Creedmoor...
