[QUOTE="buzby, post: 2769167, member: 120420"] I think it is partially due to bullet design, and partly to equipment. Back “in the day” a lot of the 7mag guys wanted speed. That was the appeal of that cartridge. “Flat shooting,” is a common way people describe 7mag. With range finders and turret scopes, flat shooting isn't as important. The current trend is heavy for caliber bullets for long range shooting. People are willing to push a larger round a little slower, for better down range performance. There are better performing bullets now, than when the 7mag was designed. Better BCs, better expansion at lower speeds. [/QUOTE]
