7mm Remington Magnum

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 than the .300, which allows for quicker bleed off of energy, and greater susceptibility 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.
