I borrowed the following from the "Perfect Battery...Choose One" thread, P 4 Mr. John Burns posted...

What would you choose? It must be available worldwide.
I used a 7RM for many years but couldn't see any advantage over a 270. The 300 Win is great but has a lot of recoil in a lw rifle.
The 308 & 30-06 are pretty good.
What say you? ---------------------------------
John Burns' reply:
"I would choose the 7mm Rem Mag.... Pretty available world wide if you need ammo in a pinch.
Combine the ability to launch good bullets at decent velocity with moderate recoil makes a cartridge that will never limit the hunter."
This is the OTHER post I wanted to go with this THREAD. "7mm Rem Mag Thoughts". Opinions are ALL OVER the place but from the experience of ACTUAL users of the 7 Mag on more than 1-10 head of game, the evidence supports the ADVANTAGES of the 7 R M.
