"Convincing" is something you do through your own experience. I guess you have never hunted the West.

If you are convinced a 7 Rem Mag offers no advantage over a 308, then sell the 7 RM.

Of course the people who invented the 7 Rem Mag only had extensive experience on all western BG animals, including moose, and grizzly,and thoroughly tested the cartridge before it went commercial. But what did they know?

You should probably sell it.


While I've never hunted the west, I am sure there's nothing in NH that requires a 7mm Rem. Mag.

I am reminded of another post from "The Shrinking Big Game Rifle" thread...

I was greener than green but it sounded OK to me at the time. I used a 270 and didn't feel badly...both Grits Gresham and John Jobson had hunted with the same rancher using a 7 Rem Mag and a 270.

No one much cared what you used if you could shoot straight.
