I owned a 7mm Rm for years pre-chrony so have no idea what I was getting with my "book" loads but killed a couple pick-up trucks of deer with it and the famous Nos Part's bullets. That 7mm 700 became my present Gentry 270 Wby with which I've also taken some deer; in fact Hagel was the inspirtaion for the Wby too.

I've read AD's assertions before but was too care-free in my youth shooting deer to be concerned or notice it personally. My 270 Wby does 3250 out of it's 24" tube with 140-gr TSXs and shoots well but I don't know if I perceive much differenct between the two.
