I don't have any problem discussing the moral imlecations of taking a shot at a game animal at long ranges. I'd just assume keep it to a different thread. There are plenty of them on TheFiringLine if that is what you want to discuss. Right now I would feel pretty comfortable shooting at game out to around 350-400 yards or so under ideal conditions. Maybe someday that will be further, I don't really know. That is not what this thread is about though. This thread is about what cartridge people feel would be ideal for hunting at this range and further out, and I'd like to keep it limited to that.

Now, back on topic, I have considered the .284 as somebody suggested, but I wonder if one of the 7mm short mags wouldn't be just as good or better? I haven't heard that barrel life is all that bad on the .284 (unlike the 6.5-284). From what I have read it should be good for a couple thousand round at least, which I think is probably all I would expect from any of the fast 7's.
