I hunt for deer, elk, moose and bear. A 1993 Browning A-bolt Medallion in 7mm RM is all I’ve ever used. It shot sub minute of angle right out of the box. 7mm has a great ballistic co-effient, shoots flat and will take the largest north american game easily. Using 165 grain nosler partition at 100yards, I once shot through a 6’6” black bear lengthwise.

I have never tried to shoot an animal in excess of 400 yards and would not recommend it unless you are a freakishly good shot.

I’ve seen what a .300WM will do. It is a killer for sure. It also destroys a lot of meat in the process.

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate your reasoning about the .300WM. My friend’s rifle is a 7mm and it was comfortable for me to handle. I will not be shooting game beyond 200 yards. I just want to target practice at long distances.
