Tony,
Have a look at this thread from a few months ago. There is some useful info. on bullets and powders to get the best out of it.

I've just got some 160 grain Sierra Game Kings from a chap on here, so going to experiment with those and some Vit N165.

I preffer hogdons powder h1000 for the heavyier heads it seems to be a low pressure powder but can achive great velocity with it and a heavy bullet traveling fast means more energy so can shoot greater distances.
no bragging hey !!!!! 810 yrd Deer shot !!!!!! betting your wages on how good you are !!!!! 1000 Deer !!!! oh .204 how good a shot you are !!!!! whilst i admire ANYBODY who is capable of long range shooting accuratly at Paper Targets and yes i agree the Rifles we use to STALK and shoot Deer are more than capable of Killing at extended range It the humane and risk factor as you yourself stated you have screwed shot at less than 200yrds and im sure ( including ME ) the are plenty honest Bloke on here who have to So why go shooting at Stupid ranges and put the wounding risk even higher or now are you going to say your a Deer MIND READER !!!!!!

I am not saying its right to shoot deer at that range but it's easily achievable with the right equipment in capable hands,I don't think he was bragging,just stated a fact,he could of got it wrong but he didn't,we have all made a not so good shot or two,a bad shot at that range is likely to miss completely if you got windage wrong aswell.I just reread rpa's thread,it did say longest kill,didn't say what though.....

I think you should give up stalking and go and learn to read! I never mentioned a deer so why keep on saying i did! Get a life and go **** someone else off!

I have read this post from the start and I dont recall the op stating that his 810 yard kill was a deer , he does state that reds dont like the 7mm rem mag , it is a seperate statement that his longest
kill was 810 yards with that rifle .
Maybe if people took the time to read what is actually written and not respond to what they think a post says then maybe we would not get so much of this bitching on here .

Yes ytene is a really good calibre but alot of ppl carnt hack the recoil and say its to harsh, its not harsh ita only lie ahooting a stoked up 270 or 30-06.

It was a Squirrel! No only joking it was a bloody great Dog Fox.
This has a lot to do with the rifle build and fit. As with the .270's and .300 win mags, there were and still are a lot of dreadful stocks out there.
If the rifle is the right weight and fit it's a reasonable calibre. Probably not something you'd want to shoot all day mind.
Tony,
On the subject of recoil - I am a relative newcomer to rifle shooting and am no hero when it comes to the kick from a rifle. Without a mod or brake my 7mm Rem Mag (Sako 85) is at the limit of acceptable recoil for me. However, this a personal thing and only you know what you can happily deal with.
With a mod or muzzle brake the recoil becomes absolutely fine. I prefer a brake to a mod because the balance is better. The barrel on mine is about 26 inches long. A longish barrel is needed to get the best out of the cartridge. My mod (Northstar) on the end makes it quite barrel heavy. There's no such problem with a brake.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Bob

Have you looked at a lighter mod?
Atec Cmm4 Alu for instance.
Muzzlebrakes are effective but not helpful for your hearing in the long term.

Yes but you need a rifle that you can carry all day without cripling you.
