The argument against Magnums isn't that they don't work fine when pointed correctly, because they do. The argument is that it's been demonstrated time and time again that many if not most folks simply cannot shoot the hard kickers proficiently. Many hunters simply don't have the time, resources, or desire to practice enough in order to wield a hard kicking rifle well.
The 7mm Remington Magnum doesn't kick. It is no different than an equally weighted 30-06. Anyone who thinks that the 7-Mags are big kickers have NEVER shot one. They are, without a doubt, the tamest of the "magnums". So, if a 30-06 isn't a shoulder breaker, neither is the 7-Mag.
Real recoil starts at the 338 Win Mag, and even it isn't that hard to shoot well. And once we get into the big bore cartridges, things change drastically....... but a 7mm Remington Magnum or even a 300, is not hard to shoot well.
