[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 775657, member: 10"] it will do it no problem but yes bullet selection is an issue. Remember that I do not recomment the 7mm Allen Magnum for hunting under 400 yards. If someone wants a rifle for 0 to say 600 yards, there is no reason to use anything close to this range of performance. That said, when used on light medium game, the 140 gr Accubond works pretty well. I recommend that the 7mm Allen Magnum be used with at least a 160 gr bullet weight (3450-3500 fps) or heavier which is where the 7mm AM really runs well at with these heavy bullets. Of course proper bullet selection needs to be choosen for the job at hand. Bullet selection is far more important when using these ultra performance chamberings then it is with lesser chamberings.
