i'll still have a 284 bullet in my collection...just not a "magnum"
going with a 280 ackley to replace the 7mag
I think the problem that the average hunter (me included before trying to educate myself more) gets into and loses game is they fall into the bullet/ammo mfg's hands and don't educate themselves. I went 7mag for bear hunting, but wanted to kill something so I took it deer hunting used a different bullet than those for bear but now that I've learned more, a more expensive bullet (probably something tipped?) would have done better since the tip would have helped to encourage faster expansion.
I went with a winchester XP2 figured rated for deer good to go.
