[QUOTE="Exterminate1, post: 2893528, member: 111188"] Good question. The 7SAUM was probably the best rifle I’ve owned. I bought it when the round first came out in a model 7AWR the barrel was marked first production also bought 200 rounds of factory Remington 160 grain partitions to start out. With that combo it shot under .75 MOA. I used it for about 15 years straight. At that time I was guiding pig hunts and probably took a few hundred animals with it. Almost all one shot kills including I think three elk. The problem was I shot an elk at about 175 yards. Look to be a good shot broke the shoulder going in and exited just in front of the opposite shoulder going out looking back. I don’t know if the bigger round would’ve killed him any faster, but he went about a half mile the wrong direction at about 10,000 foot elevation. When I caught him, he was still on his feet and required a second shot. That being said, if I had both those model sevens in front of me, I think I would always go for the 350 mag there’s a substantial difference when you see an animal hit with either round. I mostly use a 300WM now with a 200 grain bullet. Seems to be enough gun with better range. [/QUOTE]
