rembo if you have your doubts about someone being able to hit a deer at 400-500yds consistantly go to a Marine Corps rifle range when I joined the USMC at 17 I couldnt beleave I was going to have to shoot a .223 with peep sights at 500yds at the rifle range. If you ever get to watch marines shoot youll see the hit a man target at that range all day long. Whats this got to do with 7mmRUM vise 300RUM. just this if the right guy is behind a rifle he knows how to shoot the long shots arn't unresonable and I really like the idea of having a gun that I know can reach out, if just by luck that 180BC walks out at say 475yds and stands still for just a sec................BTW I have had a 7mmSTW and now have a .300RUM and prefer the .300RUM for verious resons list earlyer
