[QUOTE="idaho elk hunter, post: 986715, member: 68226"] I have a biased opinion that the 7mm cal is probably the best caliber in North America with the 338 following behind it. This is the foundation of my question and opinion. The 7mm-08 is in power and velocity out gunned by the 280. Case capacity is the giving horsepower producer here. The 280 is out gunned by the 7mm mag, for the same reason The 7mm mag is out gunned by the 7mm STW The STW is out gunned by the Allen Mag But now enter the 7mm Ultra Mag as being a dysfunctional, over capacity, point of diminishing return. Pressure spiking. Inaccurate, freeboard UGLY STEPCHILD. If this is the truth and the powders we have will not let it come into its own then how does the Allen Mag work its fame? I fully understand the works and operating principals and truth and bs of the internet intellect but am totally lost on this one. Examples..7mm08 is most efficient with 120 bullets, 280 up to 140, 7mm mag 160 to 175, 7mm STW 175 and up. The 7mm Ultra is very little improvement on the STW? but the Allen mag is a whole other level? WHERE? [/QUOTE]
