If I wanted a Big 7 I would get the 7-300 PRC. However, I have used a Big 7 on seven or eight plains game hunts and I couldn’t see any increase in effectiveness over a 270.

The primary original reason for magnums was to increase range by flattening trajectories. LRF’s have changed that.

If I wanted to shoot animals at LR and wanted a light portable hunting rifle I would pick a 30/06 or a 338-06 over any Big 7.

I am convinced that bore and weight are important.

Actually the 30/06 is a really hard hitting big game cartridge.
