How come so many people don't use 7mags anymore??
They are now made in lighter guns and not such a beast to carry.
Nothing new is really lights out better?
Tremendous bullet and powder choices.
Lots of brass available.
Are people just looking for something different??
Because the 270 Win does almost everything a 7mag will.
The further away things get, the less true this is.
Anyone who thinks the 7 Rem Mag is somehow waning in popularity lives under a rock....or spends too much time reading about trendy new cartridges.
The blather about long actions, belts, and stretchy cases is the stuff of anal retentive handloaders,and has nothing to do with the Top Ten popularity of the cartridge for BG hunting.
It still smokes everything in its category and is right there with the 30/06,270, and 300 Win Mag as an international BG cartridge. Nothing else comes close.
The dreaming that goes on here is astonishing. You people ever get out of the friiggin house?
If I could have one cartridge to hunt the whole continent, it would likely be a 7 Rem Mag.
