I initially did not include the 7mm Rem Mag in my ammo section because it really does not serve in the sniping community very often. But I have received so many questions concerning the 7mm for sniping applications that I decided to go ahead and add it.

Like I said, the 7mm has not gained wide acceptance as a sniping round, and the primary reason is because anything the 7mm can do, the .300 Win Mag does better. The 7mm doesn't kick as much but it shoots lighter bullets then the .300, which allows for quicker bleed off of energy, and greater suseptability to wind drift at longer ranges. With the right ammo, the 0-600 meter ballistics are VERY impressive. The 7mm is easily capable of 1000 meter shooting, but it falls short of the .300, while steadily outpacing the .308 (Which really shouldn't surprise anyone).

Recommendation:The 7mm is recommended for military applications out to 1000 meters. But keep in mind, she sure kicks a bunch more then the .308, so be careful your team(s) doesn't develope a flinch. Because the 7mm shoots the lighter bullets at higher velocities, it is better suited to the law enforcment arena then the .300. But there is still a lot of power there, and you'll NEED to watch the over penetration issue.

Note: The Federal Premium 165gr GameKing was choosen for my military application round because it offers really nice downrange ballistics. It was the best available considering no Match ammo is available from the major manufacturers.

Note: I have chosen another ballitic tip round, rapid expansion, minimal penetration.
