[QUOTE="Creedmoor shooter, post: 1862007, member: 72601"] I think there is a fun factor with magnum rounds that isnt there with the smaller rounds. Same can be said with the smaller rounds vs magnums. I use to use the 6.5 creed for everything. Still would if I didn't make the rifle so heavy that I couldn't carry it. Most times now the 7mm mag gets the nod just because its lighter. Some of it is some people think you need to a hand cannon to kill even a whitetail. I've heard guys actually say the 7mm rem mag was not sufficient for deer. My father and grandfather stacked up deer for many years with their 7mm mags. Funny thing is, neither of them hunt with magnums anymore. They both learned it just wasnt necessary I guess. There are legitimate times when that magnum is needed, but most times I'd say it's a "just because I want one" [/QUOTE]
