I agree. The 7mm Rem Mag may be the very best LR cartridge in terms of balancing reasonable powder charges (read: affordable to shoot), managable recoil (read: brake not needed), good downrange energy (important if you hunt), good barrel life and the (readily) available high BC bullets that are needed to reliably and accurately get to 1000. The 168 (.617 BC) or 180 (.659 BC) Bergers would be my choice for paper and hunting, and have been proven at 1000.
Although my LR rigs are chambered in Big Boomers (300 RUM and 338 Lapua), the 7mmRem Mag will be my next...
