65: That Nosler Solid Base happened to be what was in the gun...it worked purty good that day smile That buck was erased.

I don't have any doubts about 7/08's and 7x57's at 300-500 yards but have not used either to those distances...under 300 is all. frown

I also agree with Formid that 300 magnums are capable of a big mess,and while I have not used bullets as soft as an SST from them,I have seen things pretty ground up with tougher bullets.

I am one of those wierdo's who recognize 30 magnums as more potent but shoot a 7mm Magnum anyway...I am more fragile than I used to be. smile




The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
