RE: best long range caliber
Eldequello I was going to leave the 7mm post alone, but you are absolutely right to react to the post. I also do not believe that the long range hunting caliber is a 7mm. It is a good cartridge for paper punching at 1,000 yards-but it is being replaced by the 6.5 by alot of paper puncher's.
As far as long range hunting is concerned I also agree with you about the 30 caliber big boy's. I will go a step farther and say that the .338's are a far better choice than the 7mm's for long range hunting(not shooting). the .338's have the better B.C. and they have more weight. Tom.
