I don't know if this will help or not mjbgalt, but I shot a 7mag almost exclusively for 3 decades. Since I've gotten older I've enjoyed shooting the 7-08 much more, especially the mild recoil. I've manged to take at least 100 hogs, 30 deer or so, and another 25-30 aoudad sheep with the 140 accubond, 140 partition, and 120 ballistic tip.

It is a very effective killer, and easy to load for.

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.
