[QUOTE="del2les, post: 1724424, member: 9299"] Well, I agree the 7RM is a great caliber, and with the right twist, bullet, load and shooter, it will take game at LR/ELR. BUT, what are your intended goals for your thought experiment? Limits on range used? What size game? etc, etc? Those answers may present very different responses. If in the deer, elk, black bear categories, and say 1,000yds and under, then learning to be extremely proficient with a good performing load is more important then changing from a 7mm to say 30 or 338 cal. Heck, my first experiences on the 1,000 yd line was shooting the old 30-06rd and then the 308/7.62 in Palma and M14. While not the flattest nor lowest drift, when well learned, they worked then and even more so now. There are few substitutes for knowing your load/rifle/self's abilities and spending time becoming proficient with that load/rifle. [/QUOTE]
