I have been hunting with a 7mm Rem Mag forever. I practiced out to 600 yds. and was confident that if I was presented with the correct opportunity I could kill a bull at that distance. Though ready I was always able to close the distance to within 400 yds. I like my 7mm but have decided I want to shoot a lighter kicking rifle. I am looking at a 7mm-08 with a brake. My 7mm magnum shoots 160 gr. bullets at 3060 and I see I can load the same bullet to 2650 in the 7mm-08. That makes the 7-08 13.3% slower than the 7mm mag. Now the question- will the 7-08 have the same energy at 520 yds.(600yds-13.3%) that the 7 mag has at 600yds? Also if both are sighted in to hit point of impact at 200 yds. would the inches drop for the7-08 at 520 yds. be equal to the inches drop of the 7mm mag at 600 yds.? Thanks for any insight guys. Hopefully I still won't have to shoot over 400.
