[QUOTE="BallisticsGuy, post: 2284409, member: 96226"] If you're looking to a magnum-y thing in 7mm, avoid belted magnums. Belts just make things harder. I'd look at 7RSAUM or 7WSM or 7-300WSM. Upside of all those is they're short action so if you load to SA length you can end up with a lighter rifle. The belt-less brass on all of them is way superior. I've been wanting to look at something like a 7PRC but it'll be a couple years before I pick that project up. EDIT: From my experience, 7mm magnums on deer are best left to shots over 200yrds. Much closer and the meat damage in my experience goes WAY up. I must note that my <200yrds experience with 7mags on game is usually at something like 30ft to 35yrds which is a little close for most rifles. [/QUOTE]
