    7mm Mag or 300 Win Mag for Hunting

    Im starting to lean more towards the 7mm mag…or maybe the 7mm PRC. Im very knew to shooting at any distance beyond 300yards and feel like the 7mm with a brake will allow for more practice at the range without developing bad habits.

    A bolt action isnt an option since I just dumped a bunch of money into building my first AR. However, a bolt action is definitely going to be my next gun. I tried to build this AR to be as accurate as I could afford. I also plan to start at 100 yards and move out to 300 which is the longest...
