[QUOTE="mrb1982, post: 993036, member: 50419"] Seems a lot of guys are concerned about the killing power of a 7 RM these days. I think that some of it comes from the newer larger calibers possibly pushing the envelope, I have no idea. I guess I have a lot of faith in the 7RM. I am sure most have watched the video of Aaron Davidon's kid shooting a bull at 1276yds. Just goes to show that shot placement is everything. I ask a lot of opinions of people out this way that have hunted elk their whole lives, not just once every few years. There are a ton of 7RM's out there. Just as many 300 win mags. Not a ton of 338's, but I think that will change in the years to come. Anybody I have talked to about it who does a lot of elk hunting tells me they would shoot the 7RM to kill as far as you can comfortable shooting it, even beyond 1000yds, and they preach shot placement. If you blast one in the guts with a 338 or 7RM, same results. Not saying anything bad about any of the other calibers, as I would love to own one of every one of those too. hehe This is just things I have heard from guys who have killed more elk in their life than I have probably seen. hahaha I shoot a 7RM Sendero with a brake. Didn't need the brake, but holy cow is it awesome fun to shoot with it. I would let my kids shoot it some day that thing is so tame. I shoot 180gr Berger Hybrids at 2880fps. Shoots .5MOA and under out to 685yds right now. Love that gun. Although, I may be tempted to shoot a bigger 7mm of some sort if/when the 195's arrive, it would be hard to move away from my trusty 7RM. [/QUOTE]
