hi the 7mm rem mag will do it all long or short rainge work the debate on how far can it shoot very far modern guns scopes amuniton have pushed the boundres for long shots all the data for drop dope etc are on the net the old way stalk and shoot is what most deer stalkers do the modern day deer shooter loads up his 12lb rifle with a 8x32x56 scope and snipes them whats the diffrence none both deer are dead it still taikes skill whether long or short i dont do much close rainge stuff now why i beleve that deer on a open hill going about there daily task have no idea whats coming from a 7mm 300wm at 600yards but the closer you get the more chance of the deer winding you they go on high alert you shoot deer run like buggery why adrenalin not poor shot deer shot from distance normaly drop on the spot each to there own we are all hunters long or short we do no favours by picking on owr own kind leave that to the tree huggers sorrey dislexic bad spelling but hope i got my point over 7mm rem mag number 1 in my book for distance
Hi batleyhunter, the 7mm Boo Boo is a necked down 8x68 RWS and is the little brother of .300 Yogi also based on a necked down 8x68.
The cartridge you are referring to is simply called the 7mm-300WSM.

Hi Guys..super feedback and very reassurring ! Have put a deposit on a Browning X Bolt..that alone was a culture shift as I use a Sauer 202(243 )and a Sako 75 Stainless (308) ,but it is as new and lightly used...I was very impressed with some of the American/Australian You Tube calibre tests,with this rifle...I believe it is 26" , 1 in 10 twist but I stand to be corrected...Cheers,Tony
I have had an x bolt in 7mmRM for 3 seasons, great gun and certainly outperforms my mates 30-06 Tikka at every distance. Never had a problem dropping anything I aimed at. Shoots well with most factory ammo, particularly the 175grs, but havent found anything that shoots well under MOA (I dont handload). Recoil pad on it is decent but would benefit from a brake or moderator (which is illegal in Canada!)
Yes the barrel is 26 inch, I believe the twist is 1 in 9.5 not 1 in 10 though
