You see alot of 7mm Rem Mags here. Especially in Browning BARs. Alot of them talk about taking offhand shots at 300 yards and that they've lost deer that they've "bloodied" and couldn't find. Apparently, their 270 (which probably is the only cartridge more popular here than the 7 mag) couldn't "cut it" that far out on a sub 100lbs whitetail. So, the bigger gun gets bought and since it's a semi-auto, a few rounds can be "thrown at" the deer as dogs push it past a road, right of way, clear cut, etc. These same people tell me that my 243 "should" work if I hit them just right. Who'd a thunk it.
