Thread: Keeping the 7mm ahead of the 30 cal?

The big question of terminal performance and useful case size will be limited by the jacket thickness that berger ends up having to use to get them working well in a 1-8 twist only time will tell. But I would say this will probably limit the case size that they will be useful in to the bigger 7mms. The big 7mms should do well but like any extreme over bore case barrel life and keeping them turned through out there short barrel life have to be considered. Where I can really see them doing well is target shooting in windy conditions where they will be hard to beat.
Would I choose the 195gr and a big 7mm probably not the 162 Amax at 3000-3100fps dose all I would need up to 650 yards very well so would a 195gr beat a 300gr berger for the longer stuff ? I know recoil has been a worry for some with the 338s in the past but new muzzle brakes now available here in NZ I'm sure will change this in the future.
