[QUOTE="Dan, post: 230271, member: 322"] Been there done that, used to live in eastern NC and have hunted there a lot more over the years. I also hunted almost exclusively with a 7mag for a few years and never had a deer run far at all. On the other hand I shot a deer over there with my 30-30 4 times that kept right on trotting. That was after my friend had shot it with a 308. Point being there is nothing magical about any one cartridge to kill deer. Slow your 7 mag down 150ft or less per second and you have .280 which is nearly identical a .270 ballistically. You saying that those cartridges suck too? A cpl hundred ft a second is only the difference between a deer shot at 20 yds with you mag versus 100 yds. [/QUOTE]
