[QUOTE="mnoland30, post: 1725388, member: 29323"] Quite a few years back, I decided to simplify my reloading life by using just one caliber. I looked at the bullet charts, and the 7mm was the best B.C. and S.D. of any bullet in a reasonable weight. Not true anymore. The lighter the recoil, the better the shooter. My son got a 7mm RM at 17, and shot it about 3 times and was done. I watch kids at the range try to sight their magnums in and their groups get bigger every round (recoil). I can shoot my 7-30 Waters much better offhand than my 7mm WSM. With a range finder, and ballistic reticles, and dial scopes, trajectory makes the magnums almost unnecessary for most hunting ranges. When I got old, I bought a light rifle. A Browning Ti in 7mm WSM. It weighs just over 6 lbs. with scope and sling, and is a joy to carry. I load it light, so it is fun to shoot. With Berger bullets, it dropped an elk in its tracks at 340 yards. I've used the same bullet with great success on deer, bear, Aoudad, and javelina. Simple. The only problem, is that all the smart money went to the .270 WSM, and I can hardly find cases for the 7 WSM. [/QUOTE]
