[QUOTE="25 Otter, post: 680500, member: 26801"] Oh this subject has come up around my campfire a time or two as well. Belts don't count obviously. My 300 Ultra is surely a magnum. The 7 Remington mag is a magnum in name only in my opinion. The lowly old ought six with the heavier bullets will at the very least match,if not surpass the 7 Remmy for velocity in equal barrel lengths. The otter has been proven as a long range target round longer than most can remember. I don't consider it a magnum either. One could say the rounds giving the highest velocity in a given caliber are magnums. That narrows the field considerably. Marketeing execs would hate to loose their ploy of calling a new round a magnum though. [/QUOTE]
