[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2723132, member: 109862"] 7mm Rem Mag I love to love the creedmoor out of hate 🤣. I don’t even have one (and I won’t- more of a .270 guy for that range of application)! But at this point the mob mentality groupthink in my circles is to hate in the 6.5 creed so just to go against the grain i’ll recommend it haha. Anything that gets new shooters, especially young shooters, into our sport is friend not foe! Plus it’s just fun making the hyper-masculine/insecure and loud types uncomfortable 🤣. I don’t hate any cartridge but I will say the 7mm rem mag always seemed like a wasted opportunity. A bit of a turd. Okay fine I’ll say it THE 7mm REM MAG IS A TURD!!!! 🤣 At least with how Remington handled it. Give it no freebore and a SAAMI kpsi limit notably weaker than the 270 or .300 win mag and voila! A belted magnum that barely outperforms the .270 Winchester while requiring a longer barrel, heavier rifle, burning more powder for more blast and recoil, and costing more money. And doesn’t hold a candle to the .300 Winnie for a true all purpose North American hammer of a cartridge. The original 7mm mashburn is a beast. And yhe 7mm weatherby is about perfect. Same capacity as the rem mag but appropriate psi allowed and the freebore lets it shine. [/QUOTE]
