Bob,
We have been fiddling around with big 7's since the early 1980's. We would have been far ahead to have built a couple of Mashburn's back then. I should have learned from Page and Hagel.
Doing so would have saved about $20,000 worth of 7's which never quite did what I wanted, which was a 175 at 3000+ out of a 22" barrel. With current powders it is even better.
My idea of a perfect pair is an 8 pound Mashburn and a 270 weighing about a pound less. Some overlap but each a little better than the other for some applications. Warren and Jack had it figured out by the 1960's.
Let's go to Africa. The game populations are way too high.
