Max eff range for a 7RM?

The max range you personally are accurate and confident enough to effectively shoot one with the proper bullet and proper conditions.

I'm very confident to 400 yards and could hit one farther, but limit myself to 400 yards. 400 yards is a good distance and one you should be able to stalk within.

I shot a 6x6 twice at 325 with a 7RM loaded with 160 NABs at 3080 MV. First shot through the lungs leaving a 1/2 dollar size exit, bull just stood there. Second shot into the top of the shoulder, bang-flop.

Good Luck
