    True. But I feel having a 7mm mag and only using low bc and light bullets defeats the purpose of the cartridge. My practice target is at 650 and have access to targets a lot further out. As for animals 5-600 would be plenty far enough but if the situation arose and conditions were right and a longer shot was needed then I'd like all the help from the cartridge I can get. It's looking like it's time to seriously look at another faster twist barrel. hopefully one that isn't so fussy. Also my try or see if anyone can some bearing measurements on some other projectiles. eg 154sst ,160 abs perhaps?
