That's some fine shooting esshup. What kind of rig are you shooting with?
It's a 7mm. But it's a wildcat based on the .338 Lapua cartridge. Specifically it's called a 7mm Allen Magnum.

It's not the lightest thing in the world to be dragging around a mountain at 12#, but a lighter gun would be a little bit more difficult to shoot. With the brake the recoil is about like my 6# .243.
I was shoving a 175g Sierra MatchKing at 3490 fps, but after a few hundred rounds they were coming apart in mid-air about 50 yds past the muzzle. I'm now shoving a 180g Berger VLD at 3350 fps at 785' elevation. Still haven't played enough with the 200g Wildcat bullets to see what velocity they are most accurate at. The 'smith said I should be able to shove them around 3300 fps, and with them having a verified bc of .91 those should cut down on wind drift a bit.
