[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 230216, member: 10178"] Some people just can't handle the truth. So flame away. I have been there and done that with the 7mm Mag when it comes to deer. Don't get me wrong a 7 mag is a great long range shooter for big bodied animals like elk and BIG deer but when you shoot ten 150 pound average weight deer right through the front shoulders and 9 of them take off like you set their tail on fire and run 100 to 200 yards before they drop something is wrong. We used about every weight bullet from 120's to 160's and had the same results. The best bullet that had the best put them down where they stand was a 154 gr Hornady interlock. With the 25-06 with most any 100 to 120 gr bullet 99% of the time it is DRT. Where I hunt in East NC there are a lot of cut overs around the fields. These cut overs are like a jungle. They are so thick that you can't trail a chalk line through them. If a deer gets into these cut overs after you shoot them you have got your work cut out for you to find them. We do most of our hunting in the late evening from 2 hours before dark and the best deer come out very close to dark. I tell people that I could not carry enough flashlight batteries to hunt with a 7 Mag. the deer would run so far into those cut overs. Give me my 25-06. [/QUOTE]
