[QUOTE="SealT5, post: 1732648, member: 94302"] No argument that the 7RM does a good job of pushing a projectile from chamber to target. But that’s just it. What it ultimately boils down to is bullet choice. I would take a 243win with the right bullet elk hunting over a 7RM with the wrong bullet any day. Prime example. I had a guide on an exotic hunt tell me nothing under 7mm. That he regularly see's these animals take vital hits with ultra magnum 30cals and don’t even flinch. Never once saw a large exotic take only one shot to kill. 3 days later I drop the heard gemsbok with a 16.5” 6.5x47L 123gr AMAX. Bang flop. Never took a step. I’ll reiterate, more game is lost due to shooting the wrong bullet then not having enough boiler room. My opinion. Nothing else Joe S. Edit: Shot placement is key also [/QUOTE]
