I do believe in Captain Crunch.
So... I love me some .284. If I had to consolidate down to just one caliber (calibre for @Laurie ), it would be the 7mm.
I already have a 7x57 mauser. I love it, but I'm looking for a cartridge where I can build something very precise out to 800-1000 yards. I'm looking hard at the 7x47 Lapua. I'm not a speed demon, that's not at the top of my list. If it were, the 7mm08AI would be what I am looking at. But the 7mm08 is just meh. I mean, it's great for hunting and pretty good for precision, but I get the feeling that 7x47L is just more efficient and precise. I'm a fan of small cartridge that you can fill right up near the limit of the cartridge and get er done.
Have you all had experience with the 7x47L? If so, what do you think about it? What bullets are you shooting? How does it perform? I'm thinking I would be using around a 150-162ish bullet with it.
