[QUOTE="idaho elk hunter, post: 821929, member: 68226"] A 7mm mag will at a 1000yds have more retained energy and shoot flatter than ALMOST any other caliber. Definitely flatter and better than the 300 win mag in a apples to apples fair comparison. Anyone on here that says it takes a 30 cal to do it is very opinionated and spreading bar stool knowledge. Now that we are comparing BC and sectional densities and retained energy numbers and all the scientific mass in this world none of it will be any good compared to shot placement and bullet construction. I would much rather have a 45 cal muzzle loader round ball with its horrible bc and sectional density hammer my trophy in the brain than have the NASA guided million dollar bullet and caliber hit my trophy in the intestine and pencil hole it. To surmise look up what the energy and bc, sectional density of a round ball is and one internet warrior, number talking, non field experienced "HUNTER" would argue that the round ball would not penetrate let alone kill. We all know that many of muzzelloaders over centuries have killed all game. Its 99% shot placement. Earlier in this thread it was said that BOTW tv shows have crippled many elk because of using the 7mm. I assure you if the hunter was using a 300 high zoot mag, the same elk would be just as crippled. Those that say a 7mm wounds and a 300 would of killed with the same shot and corresponding bullet weight and quality are purely ignorant internet warriors.
