Default RE: Long Range Question

i would choose either the 7mm mag or the .300 win mag for that range shot if you want the shot to have most of the guess work taken out. The speed of the .30-06 is slower than either of them and would require more judging in you aim out to that range. the 7mm and the .300 are very flat shooting and you dont have to worry about haveing to adjust as much for those long range shot and they both have more energy at those ranges than the .30-06. For use with all of these choices with 150 grain bullets, the .300 and the 7mm are both over 3100 fps at muzzle and the .30-06 isjust above 2900fps. I own a 7mm and would be comfortable taking a long range shot with it at a deer.
