   The 180eldm’s BC sees it hold onto energy really well and for the same reason its very good in the wind ��

   At extended range i’m more worried about unexpected wind drift then I am energy on target. For that reason at 500 I prefer the saum but both will do it. Make the decision based on recoil IMO. If you...

   From my experience the same thinking also applies in Austria as I used to hunt with my wife’s uncle over there, he hunted everything with a .300 WM. I shot my first roe with a 7x64 which is...

   Just grab a tikka in 7x64. Factory twist is good. Shoot 162s, for longer range. upgrade the stock if you wish. Spend the savings on hunting. And you can use premium rws factory ammo as a back up. ...

   Doesn't sound like brass is a problem for Edelweiss. Maybe he could bring some to NZ when he comes:)

   I had the same question 6 months ago. Could have built a 7-08 or a 7saum as I had actions for both and i chose the 7-08. Looked at both on paper and the 7-08 had plenty of energy out to 600m 1111...

   7mmsaum is cooler but if you only want to shoot to 500 708 is all you need and cheaper option Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I have both those cartridges, 708 will do that. Do you research on what projectile you want to use. You maximum range will be decided by the projectiles minimum terminal velocity on game and you...

    Hi Edelweiss are you planning to use this in Europe or NZ (or elsewhere). If you’re thinking about Steinwild or wapiti, 1000 ft.lb (1355 J) at target could be a bit low . For chamois, 7mm08 would...

    If you’ve got the brass already then go SAUM, you can build a light weight rig just do your homework on choice of action, stock etc. I have a few 7mm’s including 708 & SAUM, in a light weight set up...
