I've got my Tikka T3 Lite in 7mm RM on the way. Originally, I wanted a light recoiling cartridge like 243 or 260, but I also wanted a rifle I could take any north american big game with.
7mm RM, with the right ammo, seems to fill those demands pretty well. Using something like Remington Managed Recoil I can have a rifle that won't tear up too much meat on a sub-100 yard shot on white tail, and at the same time I can use a hot load for a 400 yard shot on Bighorn Sheep.
My question is this. I know much about bullet construction for hunting ammo. I'm pretty sure that Remington Managed Recoil will work well, but are there any 'better' options for whitetail?
(I know handloading is the best option, but that's not an option for me right now)
thanks,
