[QUOTE="JIsbell40, post: 1532681, member: 99153"] I cannot tell you what is best for you but here is The way I chose a 7wsm. I wanted to have as many hunting bullet options in the .600+ BC department as I could find while also being able to shoot them at 3,000 fps +. I started running numbers through applied ballistics and eventually it came down to 7mm WSM or 28 Nosler. Since I had a sako 75 finnlight laying around I had my smith pop a krieger 1:8 #5 on there. I hunt with 162 ELDx or 180 Bergers in that rifle. She likes bergers better but I like the performance of the ELDx better on game. Long story short, decided what ballistics you want to achieve and run the numbers on the velocity and twist it’ll take you to get that load. Then I would pick a caliber that comfortably achieves the speed you want [/QUOTE]
