[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1107516, member: 12995"] You're right...My 1.5 decades of hands-on 7mmRM hunting experience means nothing. :rolleyes: Have I killed an elk...No. But I know plenty of people who have...With ALL different calibers...Even .25 caliber rifles. Then again, I've seen idiots on youtube shooting whitetails with a .50 BMG like a bunch of morons. So, I guess you're right to take the internet with a grain of salt. Jeff knows what he's talking about. And for the most part I trust his judgement, especially when hunting animals that I have not. I have a bunch of 7mm rifles, and a bunch of .30 caliber rifles... I trust one just as much as the other to properly do the job. I trust my 7mm-08 as much as my .308 Win, my 7mm RemMags as much as my .300 WinMag, 7mm STW's as much as my .300 Ackley. And if I had a .280 AI, I would trust it as much as my .30-06 AI...But I haven't gotten around to building my .280 AI yet. But soon... :cool: In the end, a good solid vitals shot on any game animal within a rifle's acceptable distance, is going to be a kill shot. Some days they drop, some days they run... You never know how an animal's going to react to being shot...Unless you hit them in the CNS, then they'll drop and be dead before they hit the dirt. The new Berger 7mm 195 will be coming out soon, will be a complete game-changer and should bring the 7mm back to the fore-front of LR big game hunting calibers. [/QUOTE]
