[QUOTE="winmag, post: 401319, member: 22166"] Nice:D:D. Im still laughing:D. When I was little, I wached my dad shoot a deer 6 times, off hand, under 100 yards right behind the shoulder as dust kicked up on the other side. the deer was at a walk and never once broke stride. Just kept walkin........... all 6 rounds hit thier mark. I COULD COVER ALL 6 SHOTS with my palm when the deer finally figured out it was hit, and decided to lay down and die, just as lazy as could be about 100yds from where it was hit the first time. I was 7 years old at the time, and Id never seen my dad miss so I could hardly belive the deer was still walking after the first crack of the rifle. My dad was floored by the amount of lead he threw to get the thing to bleed out. My dad never hunted with a 7mm again. This was my [U]first[/U] not so good experience with the 7mag, and I have personally whitnessed multiple situations almost identicle on other deer, elk, and bear with 7mm's in different configurations at relitively short yardage. Longer range theyre ok. Theres nothing particularly wrong with the 7mm. The 7mm is accurate. It has great offerings for high B.C. bullets. It shoots flat. It is big enough for most anything in North America. I just dont like em' due to personal experiences and the whole metric system thing:D. + I can virtually match it or beat it with same wt. bullets with a 270wsm. So Im bias for my own reasons. I like what I like because of how I have seen 270's and 30's work in person from close range to long range observations -*not because of what Ive seen on paper*-*nor someones ''balistics chart''*- just personal experiences. Before I recieve any ''hate mail'' from the 7mag fans, let me say personal preferance is personal preferance, and that if you like your 7mm Im happy for you, and I wish you all the success and fondness for your choice of caliber that I have for mine. I hope you never have simmilar experiences to what Ive had. I just happen to like my 270wsm better is all, and thats my personal preferance. [/QUOTE]
