Too much for deer, too light for elk. IMO. I killed 5 or 6 deer with the 7 mag . Always had a bloody mess when butchering them.
This has always kind of been my take but I have never owned one. I think an exception would be long shots at deer but we don't get shots beyond about 100 yards where I hunt. If I was shooting deer beyond 300 yards, the 7mm would probably be perfect.
