That said, the most stable load you find in you 7MM is the key. A 7mm Mag out performs the 300 Win Mag at the longer distances, and bucks the wind well.

Drop charts are a good tool, but they are only a guideline. Download a good shooting application for your phone that lets you recalibrate trajectory from the real world drop Data that you get from your "work back" DATA that is established from your 100, 300, 600, yard targets. Just remember that at 1000 yards, each MOA is roughly 10inches. Additionally, canting the rifle is BAD at the long ranges....6 degrees of rifle cant can throw your round off by about 20inches at 1000. 1000yards is a benchmark number for many shooters....but it is only just a number!
You'll be fine, and have fun.
Any ideas on the app that lets us provide feedback to adjust trajectory? I shooter for my Android. Anything better out there?
