What is the consensus of the Plain Jane 7MM magnum. It doesn't seem to get much press here like it's little brother the .280. What is the favorite load for this round for anchoring elk. The reason I am asking is that I have my eye on a used rifle in said caliber.
175 gr Partitions and enough IMR-7828/RL-22 to reach an accurate 2990 fps from a 26" barreled rifle has work for a couple of friends of mine for better than 20 years, I worked up the initial loads for them, they now handload for themselves and haven't changed a thing about said load.
LOTS of dead elk, mule deer, black bears and whitetail, something to be said for one load for all game with a particular rifle and familiarity.
