    best 7mm projectiles...bush to 600

    Hi guys...I just acquired a Tikka 284 (off this site) just as I'm running out of the old 162 Amax...
    This might end up running a varimax brake and I'm looking at a lightweight carry projectile with the brake closed (120 BT springs to mind) and something about 160 grain for longer stuff.
    Absolute max would be 600 yards so getting along at about 2000fps (with the 162 eldm) according to the phone...

    Really interested on what people who shoot a lot of animals are using...7mm eldx in particular seems to have mixed reviews at distance...
    The 120 bt seems a no brainer because its going to be low recoil and people seem to reckon it poleaxes animals out to 400...

    Chris
