Most long range calibers used for deer sized game at ranges out to a 1000 yds 1. are usually in the 7mm size. With its high velocity and flat trajectory, with good foot pounds of energy 2.this cartridge is a good choice for distances of 200 + yds.
1. Huh?? 7mm is a caliber-just ONE caliber! And believe me, there are a hell of a lot more calibers in use for long-range shooting thanjust 7mm. In fact, I'm willing to bet that there are MORE .30-caliber cartridges being used in the U.S. today for long-range shooting than there are 7mm's!

2. Which cartridge? There are just scads of DIFFERENT 7mm cartridges!
