nothing less then a 338/378 would work on something like that
Why don't I just call up an air strike or artillery barrage?

I asked for input on here because I know alot of you guys either have or have had some of these calibers and that some of you do long range shooting. I personally feel that the 22s run out of steam too quickly at long ranges. Sure they're fine for punching holes in paper that far away, but I like quick, clean kills on critters. Please reserve input for serious comments only. I don't want to pick them up with a sponge and sandwich bag, but I don't want to just wound them either.
Are you looking to buy another rifle? Or, just for us to say to use the 7mm rem mag?

The 7mm is way overkill for yotes at that distance, sure it would work great. But, I'm guessing its not a custom LR rifle, so hitting yotes at that distance and seeing your hits at that distance will be a lot harder with the 7mm.

Will you be dialing or using a custom reticle?

A fast twist 22-250 would be awesome, cheaper to shoot, you can see your hits, and plenty of power for yotes.

If you just really want to use your 7mm, then try the Sierras or the Bergers and figure your drops and wind drift and have fun.
